SG banks exposure to Europe, Russia 'minimal': UOB Kay Hian

The direction for the share prices of banks will depend on the progress of peace talks.

UOB Kay Hian said systemic banking risk due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict is elevated, but below levels seen during Russia's annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol in 2014.

This is due to Russia not being well-integrated into the global financial system and reduced financial linkages.

As for Singapore banks, UOB Kay Hian said their core markets are within Asia, with the three listed banks classifying Europe under the 'rest of the world' category along with Australia, Canada, Japan, and the US. They have established branches in London, but not in continental Europe, such as in Paris and Frankfurt.

UOB Kay Hian concludes the direction for share prices of banks will depend on the progress of peace talks to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
