HONG KONG, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Standard Chartered STAN.L reported on Tuesday that full-year pretax profit climbed 16%, as robust global banking and strong wealth inflows boosted revenue at the emerging markets-focused lender.
StanChart, which earns most of its revenue in Asia and Africa, reported pretax profit for the full year of $6.96 billion. That compared with $6 billion a year earlier and the $7.2 billion average of 16 analyst estimates compiled by the bank.
