HSBC considering exit from Turkey

Turkey has been a problem country for HSBC in recent years as volatility in the lira and economic problems have hit its returns

Newsroom January 31 01:46

HSBC (HSBA.L) is considering selling its Turkey business amid concerns about the country’s volatile currency and economic outlook, sources familiar with the matter said.

As part of broader cost-cutting measures under interim Chief Executive Noel Quinn, the bank is also seeking to sell or shrink its business in some other markets, the sources said.

These include countries where it has small-scale operations that struggle to compete with local players, including Armenia, Greece and Oman, they said.
