Most of the jobs cut from the equities withdrawal are in Asia, a spokesman for Standard Chartered said, asking not to be named. Of those, Hong Kong had the largest number, with jobs in Singapore, India, South Korea and Indonesia also affected, he said

That's banking. It's a resource intensive industry (although that's changing) so if a business line stops making money they let the staff go. Just sensible business practise. Bit hard on the people though.
