DBS Hit by More Capital Minimums

The video discusses DBS's capital outlook following higher capital charges imposed by MES due to digital outages. Despite a reduction in the core equity tier one capital ratio, DBS maintains a strong capital position with excess capital. The bank's credit ratings remain robust, supported by healthy earnings momentum and well-capitalized status.
