Barclays Bank Burma Policy

Posted on 29/10/04 by bridget

Since the Social Responsiblity bit of the Barclays website is confusing and half of it is 'under review', I telephoned directly to ask about Burma...

(date received - 18th Oct 04)

As requested, our position re: Burma is as follows:

* Barclays does not have offices or representation in Burma/Myanmar.
* We do not lend to the Military Regime, or any government body in Burma.
* Barclays does not have any lending to Burmese companies or individuals.

I hope this clarifies the issue for you.

With kind regards

Philippa
