HSBC HOLDINGS (00005.HK) CEO Georges Elhedery plans to target senior bankers in a cost-cutting restructuring, which is expected to save up to US$300 million, accounting only for 1% of the group's total costs last year, the Financial Times reported, citing informed sources.

The report suggested that Elhedery is drafting a plan to merge HSBC's commercial banking division with its global banking and markets division as the first step in his cost-cutting efforts since taking office last month.
