Standard Chartered was also awarded 'Best Bank in Hong Kong', 'Best
Bank in South Korea', 'Best Bank in Nepal' and 'Best Bank in Brunei' in
its 2009 'Bank of the Year' awards.
The five awards reflect both Standard Chartered's roots and expertise
in Asia, a key region for the Bank's long-term growth strategy.
The Banker's Bank of the Year Awards are regarded as the industry
standard for banking excellence. The winners are judged on their ability
to deliver shareholder returns and to gain strategic advantage.
The award comes on the back of Standard Chartered Bank Sri Lanka
being awarded Best International Trade Bank in August 2009.
Sri Lanka enhanced its network by setting up a Trade counter in
Negombo to support the trade needs of the clients in Free Trade Zone.
Also the trade system was transformed to a highly sophisticated plat
form called IMEX. |
