HSBC Holdings Plc siger, at svindel for 400 millioner dollars er et enkeltstående tilfælde. Investorer vil vide hvorfor.
HSBC has nearly completed a review of lending policies after a $400 million fraud-related provision in its UK unit, chairman Brendan Nelson told shareholders. The bank has not disclosed the company involved, but sources link the loss to Market Financial Solutions via Atlas SP. HSBC shares fell in London and Hong Kong but rose in New York on Friday. Barclays also booked a £228 million charge tied to MFS’s collapse.
