HONG KONG -- HSBC Holdings' decision to anoint joint chiefs for Asia underlines the importance of the bank's pivot to the region -- and the role played by outgoing head Peter Wong in the past decade to bring the U.K.-headquartered bank closer to its Asian roots.

HSBC on Monday named David Liao, head of global banking for the Asia-Pacific, and India CEO Surendra Rosha as co-CEOs for the Asia-Pacific with immediate effect.
