Standard Chartered aims to double its wealth unit, while UBS targets higher assets under management. Deutsche Bank is focusing on private, investment and corporate banking. Mandarin fluency is increasingly valued, given China’s influence and cross-border deals. AI is driving efficiency, creating new skill requirements in coding, data analytics, and ESG.
