As such, “the approach of the new entity will be marked by a focused client strategy that builds on its core expertise and client needs.

Standard Chartered is a major player in Africa with offices across the continent, including locations in Angola, Botswana, Cameroon, Cote d'Ivoire, Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tanzania, The Gambia, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
