Twenty years is not such a long period of time in the scheme of things, partly as I can well remember where I was and what I was doing during 1987. However, what is truly remarkable though is the progress the financial services industry in Ireland has made during this short period.
We are proud of our association with the IFSC in Ireland and all that has been achieved. From relatively modest beginnings in September 1979, and known then as The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Ltd, HSBC has also come a long way and, today, our investments here are testament to the confidence that we have in developing our businesses and the IFSC's continued success.
Ireland's IFSC is respected, player on the world stage and it is now up to us to show the same level of vision and leadership as that shown to us just twenty short years ago.
HSBC in Ireland is a leader in funds administration, corporate banking, private banking and insurance services.
Congratulations and good luck! |
