Asia’s investment scene is changing quickly, and DBS is leading the way as the go-to banking partner for growing and mid-sized asset managers who want to expand internationally. DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited (“DBS Hong Kong”) has announced the launch of its new “Regional Investment Corridors” initiative.
This initiative strengthens DBS’s role as a key connector for growth and opportunity. It helps clients explore promising ventures across Asia by opening new channels for investment and linking capital with a wide range of business opportunities in the region.
The exclusive launch luncheon in Hong Kong aimed to build stronger connections and create private investment opportunities between Hong Kong and Japan. The event was a great success.
It brought together top industry leaders and respected partners, including Anderson Mori & Tomotsune, Apex Group, DealStreetAsia, FinCity.Tokyo, KPMG, and Ogier.
Japan is quickly growing into a central international financial hub. In 2023, the country reached a record level of foreign investment — over JPY 50 trillion — and the government plans to double that amount by 2030.
During a virtual keynote by FinCity.Tokyo, Japan’s first public-private financial promotion group, it was highlighted that new efforts — like the expanded NISA tax-free investment program and Tokyo Stock Exchange reforms — are helping more people move their money from savings into investments.
As part of the “Regional Investment Corridors” initiative, DBS Hong Kong will also host events targeting Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea in the upcoming months to build robust corridors for capital exchange and foster region-wide impact. DBS Hong Kong remains committed to supporting the ambitions of asset managers and enterprises by fostering collaborative partnerships and providing integrated solutions tailored to the fast-changing Asian investment landscape.
Boris Chan, Managing Director and Head of Institutional Banking Group, DBS Hong Kong, commented, “DBS, as a ‘super connector,’ actively shapes Asia’s investment ecosystem by bridging businesses, markets and strategic partners. The launch of our ‘Regional Investment Corridors’ initiative reflects our dedication to acting as a facilitator and a strategic partner for inbound and outbound investment flows. Recognised by Global Finance as the safest bank in Asia for 17 consecutive years, DBS is unwavering in its pursuit of supporting clients strategic investments and fostering economic development across the region.”
This initiative continues the success of DBS’s earlier efforts to connect clients and key decision-makers across the region. One example is the “Investment Insights Unlocking Opportunities in Greater China and Asia” event held in Singapore in February 2025.
These past events highlighted the latest trends in asset management, fundraising strategies, and new investment opportunities — and received very positive feedback from participants.
