The deal was registered in late November. The records did not show the size or rent for the leased space, but agents sai ...

Earlier this week, HSBC finally appointed its chair, and it wasn't who we were expecting. The bank had narrowed down its list of candidates to two, but then decided in a lastminute decision to stick with its interim chair, Brendan Nelson. It capped off a chaotic process that the bank had led, which showed that it didn't really have any succession planning.Is Brendan Nelson the right man for the job. Well, he's been on the board since 2023 and he has extensive financial services experience, but he's never be ...

(Bloomberg) --Devastating floods have killed more than 1,300 people and caused at least $20 billion in losses since late last month across parts of South and Southeast Asia, underscoring the increasing risks from climate change and extreme weather for the region's fast-growing populations and economies.A sequence of three tropical cyclones coincided with the regular northeast monsoon to deliver rainfall totals unseen in decades in some locations, and triggered a wave of destruction from Sri Lanka to Indones ...

Brendan Nelson brings decades of experience to his new role as HSBC chairman, including as a top auditor to banks that later ran into trouble during the financial crisis https://t.co/PRGaY6uxDS ...

布伦丹・纳尔逊（Brendan Nelson）凭借数十年从业经验出任汇丰银行新任董事长，其履历中包括曾担 任多家银行的首席审计师，而这些银行后来在金融危机期间陷入困境。 周三，汇丰银行宣布任命这位前毕马威（KPMG）高管为新任董事长。此前，该行耗时一年寻找外部候 选人，却未能找到合适人选。 外界普遍认为，此次任命属于过渡性安排，原因有二：一是纳尔逊已 76 岁高龄，二是他缺乏亚洲市场 经验 —— 而这家总部位于伦敦的银行，其大量收入来自亚洲。 自今年 10 月起，纳尔逊一直以临时董事长身份履职。这一职位是全球金融领域要求最高的职位之一， 不仅需要频繁出差，还需具备出色的外交手腕，以弥合东西方之间的地缘政治分歧。 这位苏格兰人在英国最广为人知的经历，是在金融危机爆发前伦敦金融城（City of London）的繁荣时 期，负责毕马威全球金融服务业务。金融危机后，英国议员及其他人士批评审计机构为那些最终倒闭的 银行出具了合格的财务审计报告。 2008 年至 2009 年期间，英国多家大型银行需要政府救助，毕马威也因此陷入舆论指责的漩涡。其中， 毕马威的客户之一 —— 苏格兰哈里法克斯银行（HBOS）在获得无保留意 ...

企业治理专家、分析师和投资者表示，汇丰银行(HSBC.US)任命Brendan Nelson从临时转为正式集团主 席一事引发了市场对该银行在亚洲业务方面的规划和长期愿景的质疑。周三，Nelson在汇丰银行花费一 年多时间寻找外部候选人后才被任命为临时董事长，这一任命令市场感到意外，因为首席执行官 Georges Elhedery曾于前一天暗示，现年76岁的纳尔逊可能不会长期担任这一职务。 这一决定是在长达一年多的主席人选物色之后做出的，物色过程考虑了内部和外部候选人。在考察了从 英国前财政部长George Osborne到高盛亚太区负责人Kevin Sneader等众多候选人之后，该银行最终选择 了一位前英国石油公司和国民西敏寺银行董事会成员。Nelson大部分职业生涯都在英国度过，而非在亚 洲。 汇丰内部人士表示，Nelson在担任临时董事长期间表现出色。在对该职位的热情不断增长并最终表示有 意永久担任之后，他获得了董事会的一致认可，一位了解此事的汇丰内部人士称。 然而，分析师表示，Elhedery在Nelson获任前一天(周三)发表的言论可能会削弱新董事长的权威。 Elhedery称Nelson不愿担任这 ...
