HSBC Holdings

HSBC Holdings, Europe's biggest bank, will review whether to move its headquarters out of Britain, potentially dealing a blow to a country trying to balance tighter regulation with the importance of the financial industry to its economy. 

Cooperation in security, rule of law and the fight against terrorism are said to be on the agenda of FBI director James Comey and Prime Minister Boyko Borisov as the two are set to meet in Sofia.

Thousands have signed an online petition denouncing reported comments by an HSBC Holdings  board member in which she likened Hong Kong protesters' demands for democracy to the emancipation of slaves.
