Standard Chartered Bank has clarified that reports of staff being evacuated from its Dubai offices are inaccurate.
The bank says a precautionary work-from-home arrangement, put in place last week, has simply been extended.
Staff continue to operate remotely while maintaining normal services, and the bank says the UAE and other Middle East markets remain key parts of its global network as it supports clients in a fast-moving environment.
