LONDON, Sept 9 (Reuters) – JPMorgan has expanded
its corporate banking business to Greece, the U.S. bank said on
Wednesday, as part of a broader plan to grow its services for
companies across Europe.
JPMorgan has increased staff in its global corporate banking
division by 25% across Europe, the Middle East and Africa in the
last two years, and said the latest move reflected recent growth
in the Greek economy.
* Konstantinos Makrydakis will lead the corporate banking
business in Greece, serving large and medium-sized companies,
the bank said.
* The bank will offer its array of financing, lending and
hedging products as well as target investment banking deals in
the country.
* JPMorgan is seeking to claim market share from regional
and domestic rivals in the region, Reuters reported in July.
