HSBC to exit M&A and capital markets businesses in UK, Europe and the U.S.

The bank will retain its debt capital markets and leveraged finance businesses in these regions, according to an internal memo.
This decision is part of Elhedery's strategy to divide Hsbc into eastern and western units to streamline operations.
The number of job cuts from this announcement is unclear, along with potential savings and reassignment of bankers to other sectors.
