外企头条:橡树资本在京设立子公司
近日,资产管理规模破千亿美元规模的美国橡树资本在北京注册了一家全资投资管理公司,经营范围包括投资管理、投资咨询、资产管理。这是抗击疫情期间首批在京落户的美资私募机构。
这并非橡树资本首次进入中国市场,此前在我国已经通过合资等方式投资了数十亿美元。
橡树资本相关负责人表示,设立子公司是因为对中国经济和资本市场保持长期乐观态度,对中国长期基本面有信心,认为疫情的影响只是短期因素扰动,不会改变中国经济长期向好的大趋势。
本次设立全资子公司是橡树资本借我国金融开放东风在华拓展业务的重要一步。有分析称,该公司正争取全方位进入中国刚刚开放的不良资产处置市场,这或能带来先进投资管理经验、提升市场效率。
现在,全国各地的企业都在有序推进复工复产,中国经济巨轮稳步前进。除了“老伙伴”重新活跃起来之外,“新伙伴”的到来让在华外企队伍继续壮大,令人振奋。这些都时刻诠释着中国经济的韧性。

In spite of the economic weakness in the automotive industry, the Bosch Group was able to maintain the previous years high level of sales in 2019。 Bosch China sales 109.7 billion CNY outperforms market average。

Result was affected by the downturn in automotive production, particularly in the key Chinese and Indian markets, the further reduction in the share of diesel engines in cars。
博世预计,2020年全球经济增长率仅为2.0%,尤其是汽车和机械制造等核心产业领域将继续衰退。

汇丰银行将大幅裁员3.5万人
HSBC To Axe 35,000 Jobs In Sweeping Overhaul
据英媒报道,汇丰银行公布了其历史上规模最大的重组计划之一,其临时首席执行官诺埃尔奎因制定了大幅裁员3.5万人的计划。
HSBC has unveiled one of the deepest restructuring plans in its history as its interim chief Noel Quinn sets out drastic plans to slash 35,000 jobs。
奎因坚称,裁员数字不是一个“目标”,而是一种指导,因为该行计划在此期间削减45亿英镑。他说,该行每年自然会有大约2.5万人退出。
Quinn insisted the job cut figure was not a “target” but a guidance as the bank looks to slash £4.5bn over the period。 He said the bank naturally sees around 25,000 exits a year。
重组将包括合并其零售银行、私人银行和财富管理部门,并退出某些市场。
The restructuring will involve merging its retail banking, private banking and wealth management arms and exiting certain markets。
董事长马克塔克表示,无论首席执行官发生什么,“计划都需要得到执行”,这意味着外部候选人将不得不强行通过奎恩的战略。
Chairman Mark Tucker told reporters that whatever happens with the chief executive “these elements of the plan need to get executed,” suggesting an external candidate would have to force through Mr Quinns strategy。
