A Week of Banking
HSBC said it is to buy out SwissLife Holdings’ ownership in
two ventures for 228.8 million euros ($305 million). It will buy the remaining
50.01 percent stake it doesn’t already own in life insurer Erisa and property
and casualty insurer Erisa IARD. The transaction is subject to approval by
regulators.
Citigroup is expected to cut more than 15,000 jobs or move them to less
expensive locations as part of a restructuring programme. Analysts expect the
move to reduce costs by more than $2 billion a year. The review is likely to
involve cuts in some of the regional headquarters’ operations. |

Projects of the Week |

Abu Dhabi real estate construction sector
Until a few years back, Abu Dhabi emirate's construction sector
was dominated by Oil & Gas projects and Independent Power and
Water (IWPP) schemes.
Though there were few prestigious building projects, the
building sector was completely over shadowed by the Oil & Gas
and IWPP projects. Major development schemes were announced in
the real estate sector, but were delayed or cancelled. |
