Further to my letter of December 24 and our subsequent telephone conversation, I would just record the additional point that I made:

That our Merchant Banking Division which is doing regional business the bulk of which originates outside Hong Kong has no legal or business reason for being based in Hong Kong. It could just as easily (and at very short notice) be moved to, say, Singapore or Bangkok.

This makes a very clear contrast with the many bankers involved in domestic commercial banking where by far the greatest part of their customer base will be resident in Hong Kong. It goes without saying that they have no similar option to move their operations overseas.

Yours sincerely,

Mark
