Leverage on our network, experience and local knowledge

Increasingly, the Middle East is viewed to be attractive to foreign companies seeking to serve the fast growing markets of the region and Asia. Its economy has diversified into non oil sectors with real estate and infrastructure being the leading industries. Governments such as those of Qatar, Oman, Egypt and the UAE are encouraging private sector expansion and have liberalised business polices to attract foreign investments.

HSBC has been operating in the Middle East since 1889. With over 200 offices in 14 countries in the region, your business ventures in the Middle East can therefore benefit from HSBC's global resources and local expertise.
