HSBC confirms it is exploring sale of Brazil unit

Reuters - UK Focus

HONG KONG, May 22 (Reuters) - HSBC Holdings Plc (Xetra: HBC2.DE - news) is exploring the sale of its Brazilian unit, the UK-based lender said in a stock exchange filing in Hong Kong on Friday.

Reuters reported on May 13 that HSBC would select a preferred bidder for the struggling business by as early as next month, as part of a broader plan by Chief Executive Stuart Gulliver to dispose of underperforming assets.

HSBC at that time declined to comment on the possible sale.
