LONDON, May 2 (Reuters) - Shifting global trade relations have upped economic uncertainty with serious potential risks to growth, hampering attempts by international banks to read the medium term outlook effectively, HSBC HSBA.L Chairman Mark Tucker said on Friday.
Speaking at its annual shareholder meeting in London, a day after it was announced he will leave the lender by the end of the year, Tucker said he was confident HSBC can meet targets and deliver another year of healthy returns in 2025.
The bank remains committed to its ambition of becoming a net zero bank by 2050 and has begun a review of interim financed emissions targets and associated policies, it said.
