“We have managed to build on the excellent results of the last two years. This reflects our diversified business model, through which we were able to play to our strengths despite quickly changing framework conditions”, says Nicolo Salsano, Chairman of the Management Board of HSBC Germany. “Our transformation program, through which HSBC Germany will become a fully integrated part of the continental Europe unit, is progressing well. In this new setup, our customers will have access to an even broader range of products and services.
