HSBC Holdings Plc, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Barclays Bank Plc allowed more employees to resume working from their offices in Hong Kong Monday as the city relaxes social-distancing curbs after largely containing coronavirus infections.
HSBC said 30% of its Hong Kong staff can return, according to a memo seen by Bloomberg News and confirmed by a bank spokeswoman. Goldman Sachs has been gradually ramping up returns and now has a third of its employees, or almost 600 people, back as of today, a spokesman said. At Barclays, about 270 workers, or 60% of staff, are working from their offices, according to Anthony Davies, chief executive of the Hong Kong branch.
