Market Chatter: HSBC Holdings Discontinues Plans for Carbon Credits Trading

MT Newswires Live11-21

HSBC Holdings (HSBC) abandoned its plans to build a carbon credits desk after the voluntary carbon market shrank to roughly $1 billion last year, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Bankers assigned to the desk were later assigned different roles, the report said.

A company insider told MT Newswires that HSBC did not launch a VCM trading desk but was exploring the option of doing so, after determining earlier this year that the market is nascent.

A spokesperson for HSBC declined to comment to MT Newswires.
