THE Bank of Singapore (BOS), which last week bought Barclays' private bank business in Hong Kong and Singapore, is stepping up efforts in Greater China, offshore Japan and the Middle East as part of its expansion strategy.
While growth has been brisk in the last three years, there is no let up in gathering more clients and assets, said chief executive Bahren Shaari.
"The South-east Asia region is our biggest market," says Mr Shaari in an interview before the Barclays deal was announced.
