Where this balance-sheet figure comes from
It is our own approximate figure, and we have not traced it to a filing. DBS does not file with the SEC, which is the route we use for the banks that do, so this number is published to give a sense of scale and should not be quoted as reported. Check the bank’s own annual report before relying on it.
