DBS is bolstering its footprint in China by 25% after the bank, which is Southeast Asia's biggest, saw its profits in the country double last year.
The bank has been ranked fourth in terms of retail structured product volumes for the past three years, and is on track to keep that position this year, according to the SRP database.
Estimated volumes soared from $680m to $1,833m between 2010 and 2011. DBS leapfrogged from sixth to third last year in the retail tranche space, after 49 of its products struck in 2011, just behind Hang Seng Bank's 63 and HSBC's 148 products.
DBS China offerings increased from four in 2006, when foreign banks were allowed to operate on the Chinese mainland, to nine in 2007 and 22 in 2008. Issuance remained steady through 2009 but took a brief dip in 2010 before rebounding.
Total revenues from China rose 65% last year to CNY1.9bn($303mn), while net income doubled to exceed CNY500m($79mn), the bank reported on Tuesday.
Group chief executive Piyush Gupta expects the Chinese market to make up one-third of the group's total revenue in the future, up from a current 29 per cent.
Gupta is looking to capture more Chinese, Indian and Indonesian customers through increased consumer banking business.
