UPDATE 2-DBS chief Gupta's pay climbs 13% to $11.4 million as bank profit soars
DBS Group Chief Executive Piyush Gupta earned S$15.4 million ($11.4 million) in 2022, a 13% increase in what was a banner year for Southeast Asia's biggest lender. The big payday for Gupta, 63, comes after DBS logged record net profit of S$8.2 billion last year, up 20% on the year, as banks reaped the benefits of higher interest rates. "We expect that as our digital transformation becomes more pervasive, an ROE of 15% is sustainable if interest rates do not return to the unusually low levels seen during most of the past decade," Gupta said in the annual report.
