SINGAPORE: Two of Singapore’s three banks should post higher fourth-quarter earnings as regional economic growth boosted lending, but the rise in profits looks set to slow after an expected record performance by all three in 2004. 

Analysts expect DBS Group Holdings Ltd, South-East Asia’s largest bank by assets, to announce next Friday an 18% rise in net profit to S$344mil for the three months to Dec 31, 2004.
