Singapore banks in spotlight: stocks may benefit as sector opens to foreigners

Article Abstract:

The liberalization of the domestic banking industry in Singapore has caused some investors to buy bank stocks in the hope of benefitting from an expected increase in mergers and acquisitions. The Monetary Authority of Singapore has instituted reforms to allow foreign competition and foreign ownership in its domestic banks. Two of the smaller banks, Keppel TatLee Bank and Overseas Union Bank are expected to be acquired. As a result, the banks' stocks are trading at relatively high prices.
