BANK lending in Singapore grew at a slower pace in December compared with the previous month, dragged by softer growth in both consumer and business loan segments.

Preliminary figures released by the Monetary Authority of Singapore yesterday showed that domestic banking unit (DBU) loans - or loans denominated in Singapore dollars - stood at $574 billion in December, up 1.5 per cent from November. This was weaker than the 2.1 per cent month-on-month growth registered in November.
