HSBC is reportedly reviewing its operations in Pakistan and may exit the country, in an effort to withdraw from non-core businesses; a decision has not yet been made. This continues an effort made by the bank to focus on core operations. In the Middle East, the bank still operates in the UAE, Egypt, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Algeria. The lender is in the process of closing its one-branch operations in Ramallah, Palestine, and recently closed its operations in Jordan and Lebanon.
