Is Barclays now a big player in Asia?

COMMENTS

Time will tell if Barclays can live up to its promise of becoming a truly global i-bank.  Read all comments »

Is Barclays emerging as a leading investment bank in Asia and an elite-level employment choice for bankers in the region?

Its Barclays Capital unit has recently increased its headcount in Japan by about 200 as part of a drive to derive 50 per cent of i-banking revenues from outside the UK and to generate more non-commercial banking revenues.

In Singapore, its retail and commercial divisions are hungry for staff to bulk up Barclays' IT hub.

Can Barclays challenge Stan Chart and HSBC as the number one British banking employer in Asia? And would you work there? Let us know below.

It depends on its ability of attracting and maintaining top-performance bankers in this region, a decade ago no one thought UBS was tier-one player in Asia, but now they are definately one of the top, Barclays may repeat this story, who knows.

Barclays with Lehman is an entirely new animal.  People still don't seem to realize what a deal Barclays made when it snapped  up Lehman last year for literally pennies.

Does anyone want to work a bank who pays top money and bonuses to senior management and yet retrench / closed businesses during the same period? Not many realise the structure within this bank, however if you like the above and used to multiple matrix structures, join them.
