LONDON (Reuters) - HSBC Holdings Plc will look at whether to move its headquarters from London once the regulatory environment becomes clearer, the chairman of Europe's biggest bank said on Monday.
"We are beginning to see the final shape of regulation, the final shape of structural reform and as soon as that mist lifts sufficiently we will once again start to look at where the best place for HSBC is," Douglas Flint said.
The comments, confirmed by HSBC, were made at an informal shareholder meeting in Hong Kong on Monday after an investor raised the issue of whether it should move.

Several investors have said they want the two banks to do a thorough analysis on whether it makes sense to move. HSBC moved its domicile from Hong Kong to London in 1993.
