DBS Group’s net profit jumped 15% to $1.12b in Q2

Due to higher net interest income and fee income.

DBS Group reported that its net profit grew 15% year-on-year to $1.12 billion in the second quarter, on back of a 16% growth in total income.

Both net interest income and fee income reached new quarterly highs. Net interest income grew 12% to $1.74b, while non-interest income jumped 25% to $947m.

For the first half, net profit rose to a record $2.39b, partly due to a one-time gain of $136m from the disposal of a property investment in the first quarter. Excluding the gain, net profit rose 12% to $2.25b.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
