The Asset's Triple A Country Awards 2003 Best Domestic Investment Bank Editor Daniel Yu has this to say in commenting about our performance: "DBS Bank has pulled away from the pack as the domestic investment bank of choice in Singapore this year, a testament to the success of its focused strategy to become a force in investment banking. It sends a clear message also of its capability to structure similarly significant deals in Asia. It was involved in several landmark transactions including as the global coordinator and joint bookrunner of the S$684 million IPO for Singapore Post as well as SingPost's S$300 million inaugural bond issue. DBS Bank was also the joint lead manager for the SP PowerAssets' S$3.8 billion dual currency issue, the largest bond offering in Singapore in 2003." |
