Separately, French bank BNP Paribas announced last week it is closing its onshore wealth management business in India. In a statement the bank said: "BNP Paribas Wealth Management has decided to exit its onshore wealth management business in India in order to focus on areas where its global footprint and diversified business strengths allow it to provide clients with more value-added services." 

"This decision is unrelated to the current pandemic and has no impact on our continued wealth management growth strategy in Asia, which remains an important growth engine for our global franchise."The Paris-headquartered international bank stressed its continued commitment to its other Asian markets.
