  • Article

HSBC has been supporting clients in capturing business opportunities along the BRI.

“We are pleased to be recognised by Asiamoney for our work along the Belt and Road. Our vision is aligned with the BRI’s goal of achieving a higher quality, and more open, inclusive, sustainable and market-driven programme. As the world embarks on a journey to recovery from the impact of Covid-19, we are committed to supporting our clients in navigating the impacts in a sustainable way, leveraging the scale and strength of our global network,” Mukhtar Hussain, Head of Belt and Road Initiative and Business Corridors, Asia Pacific, HSBC.

“The Covid-19 pandemic has caused a crisis for every economy. At the same time, it has also created an opportunity for the Belt and Road Initiative to prove its value as an international partnership that serves the international good,” Mukhtar added.
