DBS inaugurates new headquarters building in Shanghai

Singapore's largest bank continues to grow its branch footprint in China with the inauguration of DBS Bank Tower located in Lujiazui.

The new building will house all of DBS China's employees based in Shanghai, with five floors allotted for the said staff while 13,300 square meters are up for lease. DBS Bank Tower is part of the bank's comprehensive, multi-year strategic occupancy programme announced in 2007. The said programme includes the relocation of DBS Group's Singapore headquarters to the Marina Bay Financial Centre in 2013.

Piyush Gupta, DBS Chief Executive, said, "One of DBS' competitive advantages as an Asian bank is the regional connectivity we offer our customers. We intend to fully leverage our extensive footprint in Hong Kong, and our growing presence in China and Taiwan, to intermediate the increasing trade and investment flows within the Greater China region."

The inauguration of DBS Bank Tower, officiated by DBS Chairman Koh Boon Hwee, Chief Executive Piyush Gupta and other board members, is momentous for DBS as it is the first Singapore bank to set up a locally-incorporated subsidiary in China.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
