HSBC Group CEO, Georges Elhedery’s statement regarding events affecting the GCC countries - 09 March 2026

Our thoughts are with all those affected by current events. HSBC remains steadfast in our confidence in the GCC and in the long-term strength, resilience and promise of the region. Our conviction in the GCCs’ fundamentals and its future is unchanged. The region has repeatedly shown its ability to endure periods of disruption, adapt with determination, and emerge stronger. We continue to believe that the years ahead will bring renewed stability, growth, and prosperity. HSBC has been deeply committed to the region for more than 130 years. We remain invested in its future and in the opportunities that lie ahead for its people, businesses, and economies.

We are fully engaged in supporting our colleagues, customers and partners across the region.
