Standard Chartered Plc, an international banking group, is considering expanding its presence on the African continent in the areas of wealth management and deal-making. This decision comes on the heels of the company's withdrawal from several small operations in the region over the past three years. Chris Egberink, the CEO and head of the bank's operations in South Africa, announced plans to open full-service banks in several countries, with Morocco among the contenders.

China, as one of the world’s leading economies, continues to deliver impressive performance metrics, attracting close attention from global analysts. Standard Chartered’s recent revision of the country’s economic growth forecast further underscores this positive trajectory.
