DBS in talks to buy SocGen’s Asian private bank


SINGAPORE: Singapore’s DBS Group Holdings is in advanced talks to buy Societe Generale’s (SocGen) Asian private bank, a deal that would help boost its private banking assets by almost a third, sources familiar with the matter said.

It was unclear how much South-East Asia’s biggest lender would be willing to pay for the bank, but previous estimates from financial sources have valued it at between US$300mil and US$400mil.
