LONDON, April 28 (Reuters) - Standard Chartered STAN.L
said it is keeping the option of moving its headquarters out of
Britain under review following the recent rise in the UK's bank
levy.
"It's something we continue to keep under review, but
there's no change in our overall position on domicile," Chief
Financial Officer Andy Halford told reporters on Tuesday.
"The board reviews it from time to time and clearly the
increase in the (bank levy) number this time is pretty
significant," Halford said.
