HSBC is relocating Michael Geoghegan, its chief executive, from London to Hong Kong as from February next year.
HSBC state that there are no plans to move the company's domicile from the UK.
However, as the G20 ponder what they intend to do to punish bankers for their hand in the economic mess and as the UK 50% tax rate kicks in, doubtless the fact that Hong Kong has a 16% tax rate may well have a bearing on future plans for the location of HSBC.
