Singapore Expansion
BNP Paribas has been expanding in Singapore as of late, with a series of senior hires including ex-Pictet banker Ruth Chung as Greater China market head in the city-state.
In March, the French private bank named wealth veteran and ex-Credit Suisse executive Eleonore Dachicourt as its Singapore-based Asia head of sustainable and responsible investment.
