HSBC - Analyst Roadshow to Asia-Pacific

LONDON, June 19 /PRNewswire/ --     One of the reasons that HSBC has fared so 
much better than many of its
peers during the recent credit crunch and sub-prime crises is the continuing
strength and profitability of its operations across the Asia-Pacific region.



    At its recent Interim Management Statement in May, HSBC increased profits
in all major countries in which it operates in Asia-Pacific while Hong Kong
continued last year's strong performance, driven by growth in deposits and
margins.



    And last week HSBC, with operations in 83 countries and territories,
hosted a series of seminars in Hong Kong and Shanghai to highlight the market
dynamics of its major businesses and high growth countries: China, India,
Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan and Vietnam.
