IF you're looking for one word to describe the force that was propelling DBS Group Holdings in the second quarter amid a challenging time, that one word is momentum.
Despite taking a S$150 million hit for its S$721 million exposure to the troubled offshore & marine services provider Swiber, DBS boasts a higher-than-expected net profit of $1.05 billion for the April-June quarter.
Firing on all cylinders, Singapore's largest banking group achieved an 8 per cent rise in total income to a new high of S$2.92 billion, outpacing cost growth of 6 per cent.
