StanChart's global footprint a big plus for Belt and Road

Singapore

STANDARD Chartered's global corporate and institutional banking business is building off momentum that may see a greater boost from demands along One Belt One Road, said Simon Cooper, the CEO of the global bank's largest business division.

This follows double-digit growth in network income for the first half of 2017, with more than 80 new OECD-based corporate and institutional banking clients on-boarded in the first six months.
