The banks are expected to outline business prospects for this year along with their fourth-quarter earnings.\nThe city-state’s largest lender,DBS Group Holdings, will be the first to report earnings on Wednesday. Smaller peersOversea-Chinese Banking CorpandUnited Overseas Bankwill release earnings on Feb. 24 and Feb. 25, respectively.\nSingapore-listed banks are typically favored by investors for their steady dividends. But like many bank stocks around the world, they fell out of favor early last year as many countries went into lockdown to contain the spread of Covid-19.\n\n“We moved from being very negative Singapore banks about same time last year and then shifting to a reasonably positive view,” Harsh Modi, JPMorgan’s co-head for financials research in Asia excluding Japan, told CNBC’s“Street Signs Asia”in late-January.\nModi explained that the banks’ asset quality — which refers to risks associated with repayments of loans — has held up “much better” than expected.\nThat’s in part due toan uptick in economic activity in Singapore, where “everybody’s up and about,” he added.\nEstimates for fourth quarter 2020\nSingapore posted its worst ever economic recession in 2020,when its economy contracted by 5.8% from a year ago, according to the government’s advance estimates. The contraction was less than official predictions for a decline of between 6% and 6.5%.\nThe Southeast Asian economy isexpected to grow between 4% and 6% this yearas the number of daily Covid infections have slowed down. As of Sunday, the city-state has confirmed more than 59,600 cases and 29 deaths, the health ministry’s data showed.\nAll three Singapore-listed banks have set aside funds totaling billions of Singapore dollars in the first nine months of 2020 to cushion potential losses following the pandemic’s economic hit.\nAnalysts said the banks would likely have continued to increase their allowances in the final quarter of 2020.\nHere’s what analysts are expecting fromthe banks’ fourth-quarter report card, according to estimates compiled by Refinitiv:\n\nPotential easing of dividend cap\nProfitability of the three Singapore banks appear set to improve this year, analysts said.\nBetter growth prospects and continued stimulus support in Singapore and other regional economies would support demand for loans, said Thilan Wickramasinghe, an analyst from brokerage Maybank Kim Eng.\n“We believe the upside risks are significantly higher as we progress through 2021,” he wrote in a late-January report. The brokerage upgraded DBS and OCBC from “sell” to “buy,” and UOB from “sell” to “hold.”\n\nWickramasinghe said the country’s financial regulator could start easing restrictions on dividends this year.\nIn July last year, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)asked banks to cap dividendsdue to uncertainties caused partly by the pandemic. The announcement sent bank stocks tumbling.\nWickramasinghe said in his report that theEuropean Central BankandBank of Englandare among regulators that have relaxed some restrictions on dividend payments.\n“In Singapore as well, we believe the regulator may follow a similar cautionary pathway,” said the analyst.\nThe MAS last year urged banks to limit their total dividends per share in 2020 to 60% of what they paid out in the previous year. Wickramasinghe said the regulator could raise the percentage to 80% in 2021.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":369432963,"gmtCreate":1614069172052,"gmtModify":1704887558763,"author":{"id":"3555192598177225","authorId":"3555192598177225","name":"Jj1985","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d52a052d654dfb301401489286662068","vip":1,"crmLevel":6,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3555192598177225","authorIdStr":"3555192598177225"},"htmlText":"Gg still...&nbsp;","listText":"Gg still...&nbsp;","text":"Gg still...","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/369432963","repostId":1101172115,"repostType":2,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":383199904,"gmtCreate":1612847110508,"gmtModify":1704874920340,"author":{"id":"3567307840510045","authorId":"3567307840510045","name":"JeremyKok","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/01b03a485f83b6b2615fad8ac9b87bf4","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3567307840510045","authorIdStr":"3567307840510045"},"htmlText":"Please remove the dividend cap.
