DBS CEO: Transforming Southeast Asian Banking, Embracing Diversity and Balancing AI with Humanity

Hi everyone, I'm Nikola Tangen, the CEO of the Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund, and today I'm in particularly good company because I am in Singapore and I'm speaking to Sushan, who's CEO of DBS, the largest bank in this part of the world. And not only that, Suchan is one of the most important and powerful women in global finance. So big thank you for taking the time. Yeah, I always uh yeah, it's not it's I'm I'm not comfortable with that, but okay. Well, that's just a fact.

That's just a fact. Sushan, um, DBS. Tell us about it. So we were formed two, three years after Singapore was born in 1965. DBS was the development bank of Singapore.

Really to develop Singapore. In those days we were a small, uh, unindustrialized little island. Um, and I guess we have evolved from our development roots down to being the largest commercial bank in Southeast Asia. Um, but I like to use the D-word because DBS, you know, although it stands for Development Bank of Singapore. I think we have evolved.
