Helen Wong, OCBC Group CEO: “The flow business between ASEAN and Greater China is not new to us. We recognise its potential. Over the years, we have built a strong franchise and put ourselves in a very good position to capture these flows. The effects of China’s reopening post-pandemic, the rise of ASEAN for the China plus one strategy and other geopolitical factors have amplified this potential. The unified brand that we have unveiled today is yet another strategic move. It solidifies our One Group approach, one of eight core pillars of our Corporate Strategy that was refreshed in 2022. It also furthers our commitment to customers: that when they bank with us, they have the collective strength of OCBC Group supporting them seamlessly across markets. With this One Group approach, our comprehensive ASEAN- Greater China franchise and twin hub proposition of Singapore and Hong Kong becomes even more compelling. In ASEAN, OCBC services the top seven markets using locally incorporated banking and insurance subsidiaries, and bank branches and offices, which contribute to over 98% economic growth of the region. In Greater China, we have around 4,500 staff across 67 branches in 17 cities in mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, Macau SAR and Taiwan complemented by our powerful partnership with Bank of Ningbo. We are therefore confident that we will be able to deliver S$3 billion in incremental revenue by 2025 from our ASEAN-Greater China focus.”
