DBS makes a second go

DISCUSSIONS between government officials from Malaysia and Singapore on the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) are said to include a banking and finance track.

Singapore officials advocate for DBS Group Holdings Ltd, the country’s largest bank and also the largest in South-East Asia, to establish a stronger presence in the JS-SEZ. This move, they argue, would facilitate smoother business operations for Singaporean companies in the economic zone.
