THE FALL

After the fall

The world suffered after the sub prime crisis, leading to a global recession.

We too, along with every major bank in the world, were responsible.

Although we were at the centre of the subprime storm, the economic crisis of our bank is much better than other global banks.

In November 2002 HSBC expanded in the United States, spending US$15.5bn to acquire Household Finance Corporation (HFC), a US credit card issuer and subprime lender.

The business indeed turned sour, costing HSBC some US$62bn.

WE ARE BACK BABY!!!

Us Versus Sub Prime menace

“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” - Winston Churchill

Steps we took after the fall

We shut down the branch network of HSBC Finance in the U.S. leaving only the credit card business to continue operating, which will generate

profits in the future

We transferred £750 million to London within hours

We had just lent £4 billion to other UK banks.

The global recession has created a wide gap as many banks have shut down.

We made US$9.3bn of profit in 2008 and announced a £12.5bn rights issue to enable us to buy other banks that were struggling to survive.

When the eagles are silent, the parrots begin to jabber.

HSBC finance

In November 2002 HSBC expanded in the United States, spending £9bn (US$15.5bn) to acquire Household Finance Corporation (HFC), a US credit card issuer and subprime lender.

The business indeed turned sour, costing HSBC some US$62bn

We have closed HSBC finance leaving only the credit card business to continue operating

It will generate US $5 billion in this year alone. In five years time, US $66 billion

SO WHAT?

“You guys screwed up, what’s in it for me?” US $4 billion dollars profits from credit card business The profits will be for the investors No general reserve.
