Standard Chartered Plc, the British lender that earns at least three-quarters of its profit in Asia, plans to increase its staff in Singapore by more than a third over the next three years.
The bank intends to hire about 2,000 people, adding to the 6,000 staff it currently employs, Ray Ferguson, Standard Chartered’s regional chief executive for Singapore and Southeast Asia, said in Singapore today. He said the bank wants double- digit annual growth in staff in Southeast Asia, includes countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam.
