In FY2010 net profit (before one-time items) rose 28% to $2.65 billion from higher customer-driven non-interest income and a decline in allowances. Return on equity was 10.2% for the fourth quarter as well as for the full year. DBS remained well capitalized with total capital adequacy ratio at 18.4%, tier -1 at 15.1% and core tier-1 at 11.8%. For the full year, net interest income fell 3% to $4.32 billion. Net interest margins decreased from 2.02% to 1.84% due to a soft interest rate environment and normalizing credit spreads. The lower margins overlap the benefit of higher assets.

Net interest income rose 7% from the previous quarter to a record $1.20 billion. Loans rose 7% from regional corporate borrowing. Net interest margin remained at 1.80%.
