HSBC Bank Malta’s second edition of l-azzjonist, the publication for shareholders, is online on the HSBC Malta website at www.hsbc.com.mt, via the Investor Relations section.

This second issue covers the strong results HSBC registered for the first six months of the year, as well as the performance of the Maltese economy within the context of global developments. HSBC’s new Head of Commercial Banking, Michel Cordina, also pens an article about the challenges and opportunities in his area of business and how this shapes the economy and enhances its growth.

Another article explains the difference between bonds and shares and what investors should expect from both. CEO Alan Richards gives an update on how the HSBC Bank is performing in Malta, and how it is keeping its competitive advantage through a major information technology upgrade of its core operating systems, the significant investment in the branch network and the work that the Bank does in the local community through the HSBC Malta Foundation.

“L-azzjonist is an important tool to communicate with our thousands of shareholders. From the feedback received on the first issue, we learned that readers found the publication informative and useful to gain insight into the Bank’s activity,” said Franco Aloisio, Head of Communications of HSBC Bank Malta.
