Hit by lower net interest income, net profit falls 20% to S$1.3 billion, above market estimates of S$1.17 billion
Singapore
DBS chief executive Piyush Gupta said that the bank is seeing "some episodic corporate stress" in its portfolio, with non-performing asset (NPA) formation to pick up as government relief moratoriums expire in 2021.
In its third quarter results briefing, he told the media that there seems to be "no pattern" to the rise in new corporate NPAs in the third quarter, with no specific country or industry dominating.
