Peter Wong, Chief Executive of HSBC in Asia-Pacific, said: “As Asia’s global bank, HSBC will cement our leadership in the region by growing aggressively in key markets as we continue to lead in Greater China. We have a solid platform for growth and a proven track record to deliver on our strategy to build a balanced and diversified business in Asia. Our distinct ability to connect customers to global opportunities in trade, investments and wealth will drive our ambitions in the world’s strongest economic region.”

In setting the Bank’s strategic direction for Asia, Mr Wong underscored three areas of focus to drive growth: expand leadership in Greater China; build scale in key markets (Hong Kong, mainland China, Australia, India, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia) and strengthen cross-border capabilities to lead in international connectivity.

HSBC is the largest foreign bank in Greater China with over 270 outlets across mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. In Hong Kong, where the Bank delivered profits of US$1.6 billion and grew revenues by eight per cent in the first quarter of 2011, HSBC holds the largest market share in deposits, credit cards, mortgages and local bonds. HSBC aims to break into new leadership segments such as insurance and equity capital markets while capturing opportunities from the emerging mass affluent Chinese and businesses with international needs. Mr Wong stressed that stronger connectivity with mainland China will not only redefine the strategy for HSBC’s business in Hong Kong, but will become a key driver of revenues across HSBC’s network in Asia and globally.

Mr Wong said: “China is increasingly becoming a major trade and investment partner for many countries in Asia and across the world. HSBC currently works with 60 per cent of the top 100 PRC companies with overseas investments and we expect to grow these relationships as we continue to invest in our cross-border capabilities, such as expanding the coverage of our dedicated China desks beyond 14 markets globally.”

Outside of Greater China, which is expected to continue to deliver multi-billion dollar profits, the Bank is looking to the potential of Asia’s fast-growing economies to boost the contribution of the rest of Asia-Pacific.

In India, where HSBC made nearly US$700 million in 2010, the Bank is aiming to reach US$1 billion in profit before tax in the medium term. The strategic focus is to lead financing for the country’s top domestic and international companies while tapping into mass affluent overseas Indian populations to grow wealth management.

As Singapore strengthens its position as a regional wealth and trading hub, HSBC plans to add relationship managers for Premier and Private Banking while expanding its structured trade finance capabilities to reach its US$1 billion profit ambition in this market.

HSBC also aims to generate US$1 billion from Malaysia and Indonesia combined in the medium term, as the Bank strengthens its Islamic finance capabilities and builds on its recent investment in Bank Ekonomi to expand relationships with Indonesia’s significant SME segment.

Australia is also seen as a priority market with its increased trade connections with Greater China and its growing mass affluent population with Chinese linkages, providing HSBC with a clear competitive advantage to lead in the international banking segment.

Mr Wong said: “HSBC is wherever our customers plan to grow their wealth or expand their business. The breadth of our capabilities and unrivalled international network mean that we can work harder for our customers across a range of needs as their personal and corporate growth ambitions evolve.”

The Monetary Policy Committee left the key lending rate at a record low of 6 percent, the Nairobi-based Central Bank of Kenya said in an e-mailed statement today. The decision was expected by all four economists surveyed by Bloomberg.

“Previous cuts haven’t had much effect in bringing down base rates at commercial banks,” James Mose, a research analyst with CFC Stanbic Financial Services Ltd., said in an interview from Nairobi, the Kenyan capital. “So we didn’t expect another cut today.”

Kenya’s central bank has reduced rates by 2.5 percentage points since March 2009 as it sought to encourage commercial lenders to increase loans and help the economy recover from the global crisis. Bank lending, led by demand from Kenyan households, advanced 6 percent to 878.8 billion shillings ($11 billion) in the third quarter, according to the central bank.

Growth in East Africa’s biggest economy accelerated to an annual 5.4 percent in the second quarter from 4.8 percent in the previous three-month period, after rain ended a drought and boosted farming output and hydropower generation.

The economy may grow 6 percent in 2011, compared with an estimated 5 percent this year and 2.6 percent in 2009, Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki said last month.

Ratings Upgrade

Kenya’s improved economic outlook was one of the reasons that Standard & Poor’s cited for raising its sovereign rating for the country by one step to B+, four levels below investment grade, on Nov. 19.

There is “increased confidence in the economy,” led by growth in agriculture, construction, manufacturing and finance, the central bank said today.

Kenyan lenders have failed to match previous reductions in the key lending rate. Bank’s average lending rate was 14 percent in September, down from 14.2 percent a month earlier, according to central bank statistics. Banks have scope to reduce the cost of borrowing further after deposits grew, Central Bank Governor Njuguna Ndung’u said last month.

Interest charges fell the most at mid-sized banks, where maturity lengths increased, and many lenders “continue to operate in an environment of high returns not commensurate with risk,” the central bank said today.

Higher Profits

Equity Bank Ltd., Kenya’s biggest by market value, last month reported a 52 percent increase in nine-month profit driven by higher interest income from loans. Barclays Bank of Kenya Ltd., the second-largest lender, reported on Nov. 19 that net income between January and September surged 20 percent.

Two state-run lenders, Allahabad Bank and Punjab & Sind Bank on Monday hiked their lending rates by up to half a percentage point, becoming the first banks to up their rates after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) increased policy rates last week.

Kolkata-based Allahabad Bank hiked its base rate by 0.5% to 9.5% and benchmark prime lending rate or BPLR by 0.25% to 13.5% respectively, from Tuesday.

Base rate is the new benchmark rate below which banks cannot lend. It replaced BPLR from 1 July.

“The hike in our interest rates is in line with the policy of our asset liability committee,” M. R. Nayak, executive director of Allahabad Bank said.

The bank has also hiked the interest rate for its 400-days deposit by 0.5% to 8.5%.

Punjab & Sind Bank said it plans to raise benchmark prime lending rate and base rate to 14.25% and 9.5%, respectively, effective 1 February.

To tame inflation, the RBI has hiked its short term lending borrowing rates (repo and reverse repo) by 0.25% on 25 January at the third quarter review of its annual monetary policy. One basis point is one hundredth of a percentage point.

This is the seventh time the central bank is increasing its policy rates this fiscal. To pass on the hike in RBI key rates, most of the banks had hiked their lending rates by around 0.5% and deposit rates by at least 1% over the past few months.

The central bank also raised its economic growth forecast for fiscal 2010 to 3.3 percent, following a two-day policy board meeting ending today.

Policy makers predicted an expansion of 3.3 percent in the year ending March 31 compared with the 2.1 percent estimated in October, the central bank said in a statement today in Tokyo.

The positive view by the BOJ matched the government’s forecast for a 3.1 percent expansion. The government predicted growth would accelerate as overseas demand for Japanese products increased.

The central bank decided to maintain the size of its asset purchase fund and the cheap credit program, which were kept unchanged at 5 trillion yen (60.52 billion U.S. dollars) and 30 trillion yen (363.15 billion U.S. dollars) respectively.

BOJ Governor Masaaki Shirakawa and his policy board also predict that consumer prices will decrease 0.3 percent this fiscal year compared with their initial forecast for a 0.4 percent decline three months earlier.

The BOJ predicts inflation will pick up to 0.3 percent the following year, higher than its October prediction of 0.1 percent.

“The recovery trend of the Japanese economy is becoming increasingly evident,” Seiji Shiraishi, chief economist at HSBC Securities in Tokyo. “I think there is still about a 30 percent chance for another policy easing around March if the yen strengthens and political pressure remains,” he said.

My name is Mutumba I am fresh to the UK and no lending institution will say yes to my request because I didn’t have a credit history here.
