HSBC pulls out of new markets to focus on Asia
HSBC has decided to retreat from new markets and double down on its focus on Asia. This strategic move follows a trend seen from HSBC and other organizations to refocus their efforts and bring about a new level of concentration. HSBC has already sold its Canadian businesses and exited the US retail banking market, and it may exit up to one-fifth of its current markets. The decision to retrench is driven by HSBC's desire to expand and strengthen its presence in Asia.
