SINGAPORE -- DBS Group Holdings, Southeast Asia's largest bank, has reported a record profit for 2021 even as it earned a rebuke from the city-state's financial regulator over an outage of its digital services last year.
The country's biggest local lender said on Monday it logged a net profit of 6.8 billion Singapore dollars ($5 billion) last year, up 44% from 2020, adding that it was experiencing "a trend of consecutively higher earnings" as disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic eases.
