DBS Bank's strong connection with Guangdong dates back to 2003, when it established the first branch in Shenzhen. Recognizing the vast opportunities within the Greater Bay Area, DBS Bank strategically positioned itself in the Greater Bay Area landscape as early as 2018. In 2023, the bank has been actively deepening its construction and collaboration efforts in the Greater Bay Area.

In June, DBS Bank signed a collaboration agreement at the 13th meeting of the Singapore-Guangdong Collaboration Council, establishing the third global technology research and development center in the Sino-Singapore Guangzhou Knowledge City. In May, DBS Bank officially launched its "Cross-Border Wealth Management Connect" Northbound Scheme service. Furthermore, DBS Bank has been strengthening its strategic partnership with Shenzhen Rural Commercial Bank in the Greater Bay Area, actively supporting the development of the real economy in the Greater Bay Area.

With the elevation of Sino-Singapore relations to a comprehensive, high-quality forward-looking partnership in 2023, DBS Bank plans to leverage the bilateral cooperation mechanism to continue supporting Chinese enterprises in their international ventures and facilitating the inflow of overseas institutions and funds. The Central Financial Work Conference at the end of 2023 emphasized the push for high-quality financial development, providing a strong impetus for DBS Bank's business expansion in China.

China remains a strategically significant market for DBS Bank Limited, and the Greater Bay Area is an indispensable part of DBS Bank's future development blueprint. Looking ahead to 2024, DBS Bank is committed to actively integrating into the high-quality development of the Greater Bay Area, serving as an "enabler" for the development of the real economy and industrial transformation. DBS Bank will leverage its strengths in areas such as RMB internationalization, green finance, and transformational finance to seamlessly provide cross-border financial services and products for Chinese enterprises going global, acting as a "bridge" between Singapore and the ASEAN region, and stepping onto the international stage.

全省2024高质量发展大会丨星展银行：成为金融连通之桥，助推大湾区经济高质量发展【外企高管访谈】

星展银行与广东密不可分。在全省2024高质量发展大会举办前夕，星展银行（中国）行长、首席执行官郑思祯表示，展望2024年，星展银行将继续积极融入大湾区的高质量发展当中，成为实体经济发展和产业转型的“助推器”。

据悉，星展银行2003年就在深圳成立了华南地区第一家分行。他们非常看好大湾区的机遇，早在2018年就推出了大湾区战略布局。2023年，星展银行在粤港澳大湾区不断深化建设与合作。

6月，星展银行在广东-新加坡合作理事会第13次会议上签署合作协议，在中新广州知识城建立全球第三个科技研发中心。5月，星展银行“跨境理财通”北向通业务正式上线。此外，星展银行还在大湾区与深圳农商银行不断深入战略合作，支持粤港澳大湾区的实体经济发展。

2023年中新关系提升为全方位高质量的前瞻性伙伴关系，星展银行将依托中新双边合作机制，持续支持中国企业走出去，协助境外机构和资金走进来。2023年底中央金融工作会议召开，释放了推动金融高质量发展的强音，也为星展银行在华展业注入了一剂“强心剂”。

中国始终是星展集团具有战略意义的重点市场，而粤港澳大湾区是星展银行未来发展蓝图中必不可少的一部分。展望2024年，星展银行将继续积极融入大湾区的高质量发展当中，成为实体经济发展和产业转型的“助推器”。星展银行将在人民币国际化、绿色金融、转型金融等领域，发挥自身优势，为中国企业“走出去”提供无缝衔接的跨境金融服务和产品，“桥接”新加坡，连通东盟，迈向国际舞台。
