新加坡 — 东南亚资产规模最大的银行正向投资者推销,称新加坡及其企业可以帮助他们应对全球范围内的诸多不确定性。
SINGAPORE — Southeast Asia's biggest bank by assets is making a pitch to investors that Singapore and its businesses can help them navigate many of the uncertainties around the globe.
“我们都称之为家的‘小红点’一直保持开放……可预测,而且几乎有点无聊,”星展集团首席执行官陈淑善在新加坡举行的星展亚洲未来前进会议上如是说,她用该城邦的一个昵称来指代它。“在这个波动剧烈的时代,‘无聊’并不是坏事,对吧?”全球投资和商业环境因从贸易战争和与厄尔尼诺相关的天气问题到伊朗冲突和俄乌战争等各种因素而被颠覆。
"I love it that the 'Little Red Dot' we all call home was open … predictable, and almost kind of boring," said CEO of DBS Group Tan Su Shan at the DBS Asia Future Forward conference in Singapore, referring to the city-state by one of its nicknames. "In this huge time of volatility, 'boring' is not bad, right?" The investing and business climate worldwide has been upended by everything from trade wars and El Niño-related weather issues to the Iran conflict and the Russia-Ukraine war.
新加坡凭借其AAA级债务评级、稳定的政治环境以及位于亚洲心脏地带的优势,被许多人视为稳定的堡垒。陈淑善表示,类似的特征也定义了星展银行。
Singapore, with its AAA-rated debt, stable political environment and position at the heart of Asia, is seen by many as a bastion of stability. Tan said similar characteristics define DBS.
她在会议期间接受CNBC采访时对CNBC表示,星展银行拥有“全球最安全的信用评级之一”。淡马锡是一家由国家拥有的全球投资公司,截至3月31日,其管理的资产价值达5180亿新加坡元(约4040亿美元),被视为对新加坡财政稳定作出贡献的力量,也是星展银行的最大股东。
DBS has "one of the safest credit ratings in the world," she told CNBC in an interview on the sidelines of the conference. Temasek, the state-owned global investment company that managed assets worth 518 billion Singapore dollars ($404 billion) as of March 31 and is seen as contributing to Singapore's fiscal stability, is DBS's biggest shareholder.
陈淑善还表示,星展银行在应对全球经济不确定性方面也处于有利位置。
DBS is also in a strong position to navigate the economic uncertainty around the world, Tan said.
“贸易和供应链都已经碎片化,”她说。“如果你需要因为地缘政治担忧、担心封锁、担心战争和霍尔木兹海峡而多元化你的上游供应链,星展银行可以成为你的合作伙伴……我们可以帮助客户在不同市场之间快速转移。”陈淑善还谈到了在人工智能时代如何管理劳动力,以及如何寻找具备应对技术所需技能的人才。
"Trade and supply chains are all fragmented," she said. "If you need to diversify your upstream supply chain, just because you're worried about geopolitics, because you're worried about blockages, because you're worried about the war and the Strait of Hormuz, DBS is a partner to help you ... We can help our customers pivot from one market to another quite quickly." Tan also addressed management of a workforce in the age of artificial intelligence, and how to find people who have the right skills to navigate the technology.
“人类天生就灵活敏捷……我对所有经理说,招聘时要看态度——因为你知道态度买不来,也培训不出。”
"Humans intrinsically are nimble and agile ... I tell all my managers, hire for attitude – because you know you can't buy attitude, you can't train attitude."
