China at the Heart of Our Business Says StanChart CEO

06 Nov, 2024

China remains a central focus for Standard Chartered Bank, with the group’s commitment to the country growing stronger, according to Bill Winters, the bank's group CEO. In a recent interview with Xinhua News Agency, Winters emphasized that Standard Chartered continuously adapts its business model to align with China’s evolving trade patterns, shifting population wealth, and the changing needs of its clients.

As China's national priorities evolve, the bank adjusts its operations, sometimes expanding into new locations or scaling back certain services. Despite these changes, Winters assured that the bank’s dedication to China remains unwavering.

A key growth area for Standard Chartered has been its support for Chinese manufacturers, particularly electric vehicle and battery makers expanding overseas. The bank has played a crucial role by offering financing, currency hedging, and other services, helping these companies succeed in global markets.

Standard Chartered’s international presence, spanning across ASEAN countries, South Asia, and major economies in the Middle East and Africa, positions the bank to effectively assist Chinese companies during transitions. Winters highlighted that this focus has contributed significantly to the bank's growth, with plans to continue supporting Chinese businesses in every possible way.

The recovery of China's economy, the opening of its capital markets, and the internationalization of the renminbi have all positively impacted Standard Chartered’s operations in the country. Winters also pointed to recent Chinese policy measures, which have successfully reduced financing costs, especially in the property sector, further benefiting the bank's business in China.
