The US is emerging as a serious alternative toHong Kong as the possible headquarters for HSBC,as Europe’s biggest bank by assets considers shifting its base from the UK.

美国正成为汇丰(HSBC)未来总部所在地的认真选项，与香港形成竞争。按资产计算为欧洲最大银行的汇丰正考虑将其总部迁出英国。

HSBC fired a warning shot to British politicians in April by announcing a review of whether toleave the UK two weeks before the general election. Shareholders welcomed the review, whichwas driven by concerns about excessive tax and regulation.

今年4月，汇丰对英国政客发出了警示，在大选前两周宣布将评估是否将总部迁出英国。股东们欢迎这项被高额税收和严厉监管“逼出来的评估。

The UK political climate has shifted in favour of the City of London since the election, withHSBC winning a notable concession on the bank levy, a sector specific tax introduced by theUK government after the financial crisis. But one lawyer who met its executives recently saidthey felt the attitude of the Treasury and regulators was still hostile.

大选后，英国政治气候转向有利于伦敦金融城，汇丰在银行征费(bank levy)方面赢得了重大让步——银行征费是英国政府在金融危机之后出台的专门针对银行业的税收。但一位最近与汇丰高管会晤过的律师表示，高管们感觉英国财政部和监管机构的态度仍不友善。
