  • Singapore domestic loans inched up 1.5% y-o-y in April, the largest y-o-y increase since October 2022. We expect low-single-digit growth for 2024 as loan growth is expected to continue to be positive going into 2H24. The CASA balance was maintained at 18.3% (Mar24: 18.3%).
  • Maintain OVERWEIGHT. We remain positive on banks. NIMs may stay flat despite the higher-for-longer interest rate environment. A recovery in loan growth and fee income will lift profits. Bank dividend yields are attractive at 6.1%, with upside surprises due to excess capital ratios and a push towards higher ROEs.
