Standard Chartered chief executive Bill Winters said he was keen on staying with the Asia-focused lender at least until its newly announced goal of delivering double-digit returns by 2024.
London-Headquartered Standard Chartered announced its new goal of achieving double-digit returns by 2024 in its most recent annual results, underlining rising interest rates as a key driver of its forecasted revenue growth of 3 percent per year.

«We have put a refreshed set of guidance on the table today, I would love to deliver that guidance and deliver that package,» said Winters in a «Reuters» report. «[I]t's more than just sharpening up the financials, it's changing the way that we operate.»
Winters is now the longest serving CEO at a major British bank – he was appointed to the role in June 2015 – with rivals Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds and NatWest have all having made changes at the top in the past two years.
