StanChart group CFO visits Bangladesh

Andy Halford, group chief financial officer of Standard Chartered Bank, recently came on a second official visit to Bangladesh.

This follows visits by other senior global leadership in recent times, including José Viñals, group chairman of Standard Chartered PLC, which the bank in a statement yesterday said to have emphasised its strong strategic focus on the country.

During his three-day stay, Andy met with policymakers, regulators, key stakeholders and clients. 

“It is very exciting to see the progress made by Bangladesh in the few years since my last visit. The growth potential of Bangladesh, as our own research has shown recently, is immense,” said Andy.

“I am pleased that the bank is playing a key role in driving this growth, providing financial solutions that match the growth aspirations of Bangladesh,” he said.

Andy was appointed group chief financial officer of Standard Chartered PLC in July 2014 and chief financial officer of Standard Chartered Bank in April 2019.
