Singapore banks to post higher Q4 profit, but Trump tariffs could hurt 2025 growth By Reuters

Bank Profit Outlook: Singaporean banks are expected to report stronger profits for the fourth quarter, driven by robust net interest and fee income, but may face growth challenges in 2025 due to U.S. trade tariffs and global economic uncertainties.

Earnings Announcements Focus: Analysts anticipate a focus on capital return plans during upcoming earnings announcements, with potential special dividends and share buybacks, while also noting that inflationary pressures from tariffs could support net interest margins for these banks.
