These banks will highly benefit from China’s early reopening

DBS and OCBC Bank will perform well this year.

Broker, RHB, maintained an overweight rating on the banking segment in Singapore, with top picks being DBS and OCBC Bank.

These banks have a bright future in 2023, which will post 21% year-on-year growth in sector core earnings, supported by a rebound in fee income and China’s recent opening.

Loan growth is seen to be mid-single digit and the NIM will expand by 20 basis points (bps) to 35 bps this year.

Fees income is also expected back banks’ earnings in 2023. Banks are likely to offer higher dividends in the future.

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.
