Standard chartered creating more finance jobs in Singapore

Article Written By: SamuelTeo

Standard Chartered is continuing to create jobs, after adding 7,000 new recruits to its workforce so far this year, it has been reported. According to Bloomberg, the financial services provider is hoping to add 2,000 finance jobs in Singapore to its operations by 2012, while it also hopes to boost its staff numbers in India by 2,500.

Finance director Richard Meddings said the business has built up a "good momentum" in terms of recruitment and is continuing to hire. However, he added that this pace may slow down during the fourth quarter as this is a period when it is traditionally difficult to attract new employees, who may be waiting for a bonus to come through from their current employer.

Mr Meddings claimed that the new bank tax introduced in the UK by chancellor George Osborne will not have a significant impact on the firm and was "broadly in line" with its expectations."As an international bank in over 70 markets it's really important there is real global co-ordination of banking taxes and banking regulation," he explained.
