HSBC sees less customer footfall in Pearl River Delta branches

Find out why HSBC still has a mountain to climb.

According to a report by Reuters, in the digital age, footfall in bricks-and-mortar outlets is an incomplete measure of business activity, but HSBC's sparsely attended branches in the Pearl River Delta suggest it's not all plain sailing for the bank's expansion in mainland China.

"HSBC, the world's sixth-largest bank by assets, announced in 2015 that it would hire 4,000 new staff and invest billions to make the Pearl River Delta (PRD) its gateway to China, a retail and corporate banking push that bet on a tech boom, infrastructure spending and a growing middle class," Reuters said.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
