HSBC Banking group has disclosed that it is aiming to spend close to $300 million as it relocates nearly a thousand jobs to Paris in the wake of Britain's potential exit from the European Union.
The bank's finance director Iain Mackay said this on Monday in London.
"It may be less than 1000 employees, but it's up to 1000," Mackay told reporters on a conference call.
