Chart of the day: Check out the loan growth of Singapore banks in Q4 2018

UOB’s loan growth hit 2.6%.

This chart from DBS showed the loan growth movement of Singapore major banks with UOB leading at 2.6%. Meanwhile, loan growth at DBS and OCBC reached 1.3% and 0.4%, respectively.

According to DBS, loan growth for 2019 could come between 4-6% as it will be supported by drawdowns by developers in relation to the enbloc transactions, as well as other deal-related pipelines.

They also noted that Q1 2019 loan growth is likely to be strong, outpacing industry loan numbers.

“Beyond FY19F, we expect opportunities arising from Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA) newly announced draft master plan, as well as $9b-expansion by Singapore’s two integrated resorts in rejuvenating activities in the economy, alongside loan growth,” DBS said.

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.
