Chamber signs collaboration agreement with HSBC
In December 2007, HSBC Malta strengthened further its relationship with the Chamber through a Gold Partner Support Agreement to collaborate on projects which benefit the business community.
Funds from the HSBC support agreement will be used to set up a Trade and International Affairs Desk at the Malta Chamber of Commerce and Enterprise (MCCE) with the aim of promoting external trade and investment. The project seeks to help member companies in internationalising their business operations by assisting them to tap new markets for products and services; invest overseas and find international trade or investment partners. While focusing on specific regional markets the Chamber will also provide market-research information.
The Chamber intends to assist in the organisation of export promotion activities and trade exhibitions, and offer specialised training and mentoring. A Trade, Investment and Internationalisation Manager has just been recruited to spearhead these services which will be offered in collaboration with HSBC.
“HSBC Malta is very happy to work with the Chamber of Commerce now that they have moved away from exclusive partnerships. We can help and support not just domestic business but also those companies doing business overseas though our Global Links,” said Shaun Wallis, HSBC Malta’s CEO.
“Collaboration between the Chamber and a global banking institution of HSBC’s stature is invaluable to the local business community not merely from a financial point of view, but in terms of the expertise and networks which HSBC is also making available to the Chamber and its members,” said Chamber President Mr Victor A. Galea. “This initiative by HSBC is to be construed as a sign of the recognition and high esteem enjoyed by our Chamber and its track record over the last years.”
The agreement, extendable after three years, was signed by Chamber president Mr Victor A. Galea and HSBC Malta CEO, Mr Shaun Wallis.
