                              |  Operating expenses, excluding goodwill amortisation, increased 39.8% to S$1,741.5 million. The increase was mainly due to higher staff costs of S$120.8 million and the consolidation of DHG (S$218.4 million) and DBS Vickers Securities Holdings Pte Ltd (DBSV) (S$37.6 million). Technology-related expenses increased by S$47.6 million accounted for by the various business initiatives undertaken by the Group. Restructuring and integration costs of S$40.4 million were incurred for integrating the operations and processes of DHG (S$18.7 million), DBS Kwong On Bank (S$4.9 million) and DBSV (S$16.8 million).  |
