HSBC's performance fell sharply in the first half of the year. According to HSBC's first-half financial report released on the 3rd, due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, geopolitics and market factors, the company's profits and revenue have fallen sharply, and credit losses have continued to increase.
The financial report shows that compared with the same period last year, HSBC's pre-tax profit in the first half of this year fell by about 65% to US $ 4.3 billion ; revenue fell by about 9% to US$26.7 billion; expected credit losses increased by US$5.7 billion to 6.9 billion Dollar.
HSBC Group Chief Executive Noel Quinn said that the business in the first half of the year was mainly affected by the outbreak of the new crown epidemic, falling interest rates, increased geopolitical risks and increased market volatility. In response to the epidemic, the group partially suspended the "transformation plan" launched in February this year and is now "preparing to accelerate the implementation" of the plan. According to this plan, HSBC will lay off 35,000 employees in the next three years, accounting for 15% of its global workforce.
HSBC is one of the world's largest banking and financial service institutions, headquartered in the UK, with a business network covering more than 60 countries and regions in Europe, Asia and North America, and more than 230,000 full-time employees.
