• An article about an inspection report said it found “275 visas” were granted by the Home Office to “a care home that did not exist”. The 275 figure related to the number of certificates of sponsorship granted. Also, while the inspection report’s foreword referred to a “care home that did not exist”, the main section explained that the application had been made by a company pretending to be a real care home, without that home’s knowledge (Home Office system for awarding care home visas ‘shocking’, report finds, 27 March, p12).

  • HSBC has no plans to dispose of further businesses, Chairman says

    LONDON (Reuters) -HSBC has no current plans to sell more assets, its chairman Mark Tucker said on Friday at the annual shareholder meeting of the bank, which has scaled back its presence in Western markets in recent years as part of a sweeping overhaul. HSBC shareholders met in London days after the bank's CEO Noel Quinn announced his surprise retirement following a five-year tenure which saw HSBC sell retail banking operations in France and the U.S., and its entire Canadian unit, as it pivots towards Asia. The chairman's comments hint at a likely shift in direction for whomever succeeds Quinn, as the bank turns its focus away from shrinking its global empire to trying to grow its business in its remaining markets.

  • US employers scaled back hiring in April. How that could let the Fed cut interest rates

    The nation’s employers pulled back on their hiring in April but still added a decent 175,000 jobs in a sign that persistently high interest rates may be starting to slow the robust U.S. job market. Friday’s government report showed that last month’s hiring gain was down sharply from the blockbuster increase of 315,000 in March. The Fed has been delaying any consideration of interest rate cuts until it gains more confidence that inflation is steadily slowing toward its 2% target.
