Markets trading income rose to its strongest performance in four years.<\/p>\n
DBS Group reported a net profit of S$5.72 (US$4.45b) in the first half of 2025, flat compared to the same half in 2024, despite higher tax expenses.<\/p>\n
Net profit for Q2 2025 was S$2.82b (US$2.2b), a 1% increase compared to a year earlier.<\/p>\n
The profits came on a backdrop of sharp declines in Sora and Hibor, macroeconomic uncertainty, significant currency fluctuations, and the implementation of the 15% global minimum tax, Singapore\u2019s biggest bank by asset-size said in a press statement on 7 August 2025.<\/p>\n
Earnings per basic and diluted share is S$4.04 in H1 2025.<\/p>\n
Total income rose 5% to a new high of S$11.64b (US$9.06b) in H1 2025. Profit before tax also hit a record of S$6.83b, a 3% increase from a year earlier.<\/p>\n
Return on equity was 17%, whilst return on tangible equity was 18.8%.<\/p>\n
Markets trading income rose 80% to S$781m (US$608.19m), its strongest performance in four years. DBS attributed this to higher contributions across a range of activities, benefiting from lower funding costs and a more conducive trading environment.<\/p>\n
Expenses increased 5% to S$2.27b (US$1.77b), led by higher staff costs. The cost-income ratio was 40%<\/p>\n
By business unit, the Consumer Banking\/ Wealth Management segment reported a 4% income rise to S$5.28b, thanks to higher net new money inflows and stronger investment product and bancassurance sales, DBS said.<\/p>\n
These gains were partially offset by the impact of lower interest rates on deposit income.<\/p>\n
Institutional Banking income fell 4% to S$4.51b as a decline in cash management income due to lower interest rates more than offset higher income from treasury product sales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Markets trading income rose to its strongest performance in four years.
