No other Asia-domiciled house has made a more forceful attempt to be a regional player than Singapore’s DBS. It has been this way for more than a decade, as one CEO after another has come to fulfil a vision of a bank from Asia, covering Asia. The incumbent CEO, Piyush Gupta, describes it as “the Asian bank of choice for the new Asia”.
DBS got its pan-regional ambitions under way with the acquisition of Dao Heng in Hong Kong in 2001 and has been steadily adding pieces and bedding down businesses since.
Today, Gupta aims for a DBS with a 40:30:30 split of earnings in Singapore/Greater China/South and southeast Asia, chiefly India, respectively.
