In a recent interview with The Edge Singapore, our Group Chief Financial Officer Yung Chee Leong shared his views on how the Bank is strengthening its “fortress balance sheet that can weather any crisis” amid rising macro uncertainty – from tariffs to shifting supply chains. He also highlighted the importance of looking at the Bank’s full “plumbing behind the scenes” – from how the first dollar comes in to where it exits – to uncover new efficiency frontiers. His key perspectives include: • Staying ahead of risk with a pre-emptive approach to provision coverage in a more volatile environment • Optimising the customer journey by strengthening technology, operations and processes • Advancing and scaling the use of AI as “augmented intelligence” to empower colleagues and improve decision making • Discovering and executing through identified efficiency frontiers – the right mix of different conditions that optimises our DNA Together, these reflect UOB’s focus on balancing risk, returns and customer experience via disciplined stewardship, delivering sustainable long-term value for our stakeholders.
