HSBC may cut as many as 10 thousand jobs worldwide as part of its latest cost cutting drive but where next for the bank that was at one time the poster child of globalisation?
Host Mustafa Alrawi, Assistant Editor in Chief, takes a look at how banks in Europe are looking to make savings. In a world where the US-China trade war, Brexit, a weak European economy, lower interest rates and the resulting uncertainty is affecting growth, how is the financial sector coping? Also, in this episode Mustafa speaks to Nai Arabia's founders Hisham El-Farouki and Fouad Dajani as Jordan's Fine Hygienic Holding, a paper products manufacturer, becomes the largest single shareholder in the Dubai based natural food and beverage company. The deal is valued at over $10 million.
