SINGAPORE, May 2 (Reuters) - Singapore's biggest bank,
DBS Group , reported a 43% jump in quarterly profit on
Tuesday to a record high, citing higher net interest margin,
sustained business momentum and resilient asset quality.
DBS, which is also Southeast Asia's largest lender by
assets, said January-March net profit rose to S$2.57 billion
($1.92 billion) from S$1.8 billion a year ago. This beats the
mean estimate of S$2.44 billion from five analysts polled by
Refinitiv.
