Old World Global Bank. Vs A New World Regional Powerhouse.
HSBC was built for a world where global reach was the ultimate advantage, whilst Emirates NBD is being built for a world where where you are matters as much as how big you are.
HSBC connects established financial centres across the world, and ENBD sits at the heart of a region attracting capital, talent, entrepreneurs and ambition.
Is the future about having a presence everywhere or being indispensable somewhere?
HSBC = Global Reach.
ENBD = Regional Relevance.
One has history. The other has regional momentum.
The real question for banking lies in the trade off in strategy, centered around the theme ‘Is the future about having a presence everywhere or being indispensable somewhere?’
Would love your thoughts!
