Going concern

Affirmed

“The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, as the Directors are satisfied that the Company have the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. In making this assessment, the Directors have considered a wide range of information relating to present and future conditions, including future projections of profitability, liquidity, capital requirements and capital resources. These considerations include stressed scenarios that reflect the uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment following uncertain inflation, rapidly changing interest rates, and disrupted supply chains as a result of the Russia-Ukraine war, and conflict in the Middle East. They also included other top and emerging risks, including climate change, as well as the related impacts on profitability, capital and liquidity.”

Significant events

• “In October 2024, the HSBC Group announced a new, simplified organisational structure to accelerate delivery against strategic priorities. Effective 1 January 2025, the Group operates through four new businesses: Hong Kong, UK, Corporate and Institutional Banking and International, Wealth and Premier Banking. The Group's functions are being realigned to support the four businesses.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
