It recorded growth across all industries.

DBS showed healthy lending growth in the past quarter, up 7% YoY in constant currency terms.

Amongst all industries, the bank recorded significant loan growth in sectors such as financial institution, and transport, storage & communication, up to a nearly 25% expansion. Meanwhile, general commerce loans reversed its negative growth for the past year, reflecting an estimated 10% growth.

In terms of the geographical origin of loans, only loans in South and Southeast Asia recorded a slump in the past quarter albeit at a measly -2% to -3%.

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.
