HSBC Holdings Plc (00005.HK) has completed the privatization of Hang Seng Bank and is keen on integration, aiming to create synergies. Group CEO Noel Quinn stated that in addition to unifying the systems of the two banks, there is no intention to lay off employees, and the group will invest USD 600 million over the next three years to support Hang Seng's development, with a significant portion of resources allocated to assist Hang Seng employees in upgrading their training.
