UPDATE 2-India stalls lessors' requests to reclaim Go First planes due to asset freeze
India's aviation watchdog has put on hold requests from lessors to repossess planes from Go First, as the airline's bankruptcy process imposes a freeze on assets which supersedes such requests, the regulator said in a court filing seen by Reuters. Lessors of Go First have locked horns with Go First and India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to reclaim its planes for missed payments, filing as many as 40 requests with the watchdog to allow repossession.

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.

UPDATE 4-Emerging markets-focused StanChart surprises with 40% profit jump, ups income goal
Standard Chartered's third-quarter profit surged 40% as higher interest rates boosted the emerging markets-focused bank's income and gave it ammunition to upgrade its revenue outlook despite a weakening global economy. StanChart raised its income growth forecast for this year to 13% from 10% previously and CEO Bill Winters said the bank was confident of delivering its 2024 financial targets, sending its Hong Kong-listed shares 5% higher in a firm market. StanChart's performance also contrasted with those of U.S. banks, which earlier this month reported weaker profits as they raised provisions against expected loan losses and saw market volatility choke off dealmaking.

Temasek to step up investments once market valuations drop further, executive says
Singapore's Temasek Holdings said that market valuations had not yet priced in a global economic recession and that said the state investor was waiting for further declines before stepping up investments. "Current valuations are not reflecting the risk of downturn we see in the next 12 to 18 months," Temasek's chief investment officer, Rohit Sipahimalani, said on Friday. "I do expect as these valuations correct, we will again step up our pace of investment," Sipahimalani told a session at the Milken Institute Asia Summit in Singapore.

UPDATE 5-StanChart cheers investors with $500 mln share buyback, 19% profit jump
Standard Chartered's first-half pre-tax profit rose 19% and beat market expectations, as the emerging markets-focused lender benefitted from rising interest rates and issued an upbeat post-COVID outlook, pushing its shares 3.7% higher. The strong performance unveiled on Friday showed how some banks with a focus on Asia are shrugging off the impact of a weakening macro environment in the United States and Europe that is emerging as a key risk for others. "There may be some tougher times ahead from an economic perspective, but our markets are recovering quite nicely from what had been a really horrific pandemic," Chief Executive Bill Winters told reporters on a conference call.

UPDATE 2-Temasek expects to slow investments as global economic outlook worsens
Singapore's Temasek Holdings anticipates slowing down its investments due to a deteriorating global economy, after posting a nearly 6% rise in its portfolio value to a record S$403 billion ($286.5 billion) in the year to March 2022. The cautious stance comes as world stock markets have shed more than $20 trillion since hitting record highs in January, as major central banks struggle to stem surging inflation without derailing fledgling growth. The expected slowdown in investments comes amid weakening global growth, rising inflation and economic disruption caused by Russia's war in Ukraine, Temasek executives told a news conference on Tuesday.

StanChart CEO sees shallow and short recession by early 2023
Standard Chartered Chief Executive Bill Winters expects central banks' fight against surging inflation, driven by structural cost pressures such as wage growth, to result in a "relatively shallow and short" recession by early next year. "I think central banks have to take this inflation problem head on," Winters told the Reuters Global Markets Forum (GMF) on Wednesday, adding that a strong financial system supported by underleveraged consumers and corporations will aid a faster recovery compared to the global financial crisis. Standard Chartered continues to grow in China but at a slower pace, as COVID-19 lockdowns stifled its expansion, Winters said on the sidelines of Temasek's annual Ecosperity sustainability conference in Singapore.
