SINGAPORE, Feb 11 (Reuters) - Singapore's DBS , Southeast Asia's biggest lender, posted a 38 percent rise in quarterly profit on falling bad-debt charges and higher trading income, beating expectations.
DBS posted a net profit of S$678 million ($530 million) in October-December against S$493 million a year earlier. That compared with an average forecast of S$660 million, according to six analysts surveyed by Reuters.
