DBS CEO Piyush Gupta: “The record return on equity of 17% for the fourth quarter and 15% for the full year reflect the benefit of higher interest rates as well as significant structural gains from our decade-long transformation initiatives. The Commercial book total income growth of 21% for the full year and 43% for the fourth quarter attest to the strength of our franchise. Our business pipelines are healthy and asset quality robust. We expect confidence to return to markets in the coming year as interest rate increases ease and China reopens. The substantial increase in our ordinary dividend and the special dividend to a total of 92 cents per share reflect our robust earnings profile and the strength of our capital position. This brings the total payout for the financial full year to SGD 2.00 per share.”
DBS Business Unit Performance
DBS – Full-year Consumer Banking / Wealth Management income rose 25% to SGD 6.65 billion as higher interest rates more than offset the impact of lower wealth management product sales. Wealth Management customer segment income increased 20% as higher interest rates and a doubling of net new money inflows more than offset lower fee income from investment sales. Institutional Banking income increased 28% to SGD 7.69 billion. The growth was led by a more than doubling of cash management income as a result of higher interest rates. Income from lending and from treasury customer sales were also higher. These gains were moderated by weaker capital markets activity. Treasury Markets income declined 22% from the previous year’s exceptional levels to SGD 1.17 billion.
