Reuters seeks banking reporter in Hong Kong

Reuters is seeking an experienced journalist to cover the Asia activities of the global commercial banks, including HSBC, Standard Chartered and Barclays.

Based in Hong Kong, the Asia banking correspondent will report not just on the banks’ work in Greater China but also across the region, working with reporters in the other countries where these banks are present.

This is an initiative-heavy beat — the reporter will look deeply into the machinations of these banks, reporting on areas where they’re expanding and experimenting, and exposing where banks may be skirting regulations or taking on more risk than they should.

Regulation, trading, derivatives and banking are all key areas of this beat. The role requires a strong writer with a sharp analysis/initiative ideas, and very strong sourcing abilities.
