Standard Chartered (HKG:2888) placed on the market its head office in East Africa as part of a wider "space-efficiency program," a Monday report said.

Bloomberg News reported, citing a company statement, that the lender affirmed its long-term strategy in Kenya despite the planned sale of the seven-story building in Nairobi.

StanChart did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
