Singapore banks' loan to deposit ratio rose to 79%

It's a 1% point difference.

According to CIMB, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) released the monthly data for Singapore’s banking sector today.

System loan growth was moderate in Aug (+0.7% mom, +11.4% YTD) as the demand for business loans fell.

Here's more from CIMB:

DBU loan growth was weak (+0.3% mom, +10.2% YTD), with the lower manufacturing and commerce loans offsetting the rise in credit cards, share financing, other consumer loans and mortgages.

DBU deposits remained flat mom, which drove the DBU loan-to-deposit ratio (LDR) up 0.4% pts to 100.5%. S$ LDR rose 1% pt to a high of 79.0%, while the ACU LDR fell 0.5% pts to 104.5%.

Meanwhile, the credit card charge-off rates cooled 40bp to 4.72% in Aug.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
