Fee income, recovery in loan growth are key drivers for Singapore banks in 2026

Fee income and a recovery in loan growth are expected to be the main earnings drivers for Singapore's DBS, OCBC, and UOB banks in 2026, as net interest income declines. Analysts predict that wealth management will continue to lead non-interest income growth, with potential for other segments to contribute more as interest rates fall. Thilan Wickramasinghe from Maybank Securities noted that this year, non-interest income was primarily driven by the wealth segment, with other contributors yet to emerge.
