DBS Bank (Hong Kong) aims to boost cross-border investments

It aims to strengthen cross-border capital flow and help smaller asset managers expand.

DBS Bank (Hong Kong) has launched its Regional Investment Corridors initiative to strengthen cross-border capital flows and support emerging and mid-sized asset managers expanding across Asia.

The initiative debuted with a luncheon in Hong Kong focused on linking private capital opportunities between Hong Kong and Japan. 

Industry leaders and partners including Anderson Mori & Tomotsune, Apex Group, DealStreetAsia, FinCity.Tokyo, KPMG, and Ogier attended the event.

Japan’s growing role as a financial hub was highlighted, with foreign direct investment surpassing ~$330b (JPY50t) in 2023 and plans to double that by 2030. 

FinCity.Tokyo noted that measures such as the expanded NISA scheme and Tokyo Stock Exchange reforms are helping shift more household funds into investments.

DBS Hong Kong plans similar events in Shanghai, Singapore, and South Korea to deepen regional capital connections. 

Managing Director Boris Chan said DBS aims to serve as a “super connector” for investment flows across Asia.
