DBS Group: Total Dubai Exposure About $1.8 Bln
SINGAPORE--DBS Group Holdings Ltd. Monday said its total exposure to the city-state of Dubai is approximately $1.8 billion but that it believes its exposure is manageable.
"The bank believes that the situation is manageable as a substantial portion of this is to Dubai-owned companies operating in Asia that are sound, such as Labroy and South Beach, which is collateralized," DBS said in a statement.
DBS said the only DBS credit captured under Dubai World's standstill notice is a $558 million bilateral loan to Dubai World Finance, which represents 0.2% of DBS' total balance sheet.
The bank said it has no exposure to Nakheel and that its total exposure to the entire Middle East region accounts for about 2% of its balance sheet.
