LONDON - Global bank HSBC sounded a cautious note about the world economy yesterday and said it had seen some deterioration in credit quality, while it shrugged off investor complaints over the pay of U.S. executive William Aldinger.

Chairman John Bond said at HSBC's annual meeting the bank's performance in the first four months of 2003 had been sound, although adding it was too early to assess the impact of the deadly SARS virus on its business.

"Looking further ahead, we continue to see the world economy characterized by weak growth, excess capacity and subdued revenues for corporates," Mr. Bond said.

He said lending opportunities remained subdued and the bank had seen a "modest deterioration" in its credit quality, with some increases in provisions against lending to companies in Hong Kong and Europe.

HSBC's shares fell 1% to 720 pence.

Household, the U.S. consumer finance business headed by Mr. Aldinger, which HSBC bought this year for US$14-billion, performed in line with expectations.
