Home to some 120,000 employees, the Asia-Pacific region is an ongoing success story for HSBC. It covers 24 countries and territories and includes some 1,100 offices. It's the most profitable region for the HSBC Group.

In addition to Hong Kong, one of the Group's two home markets, the Asia-Pacific region is home to 8 of the Bank's 22 priority growth markets around the world: Australia, mainland China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam.
