DBS Group (SGX:D05) has denied rumors that its Indonesian subsidiary, PT Bank DBS Indonesia, will be merged with PT Bank Central Asia (IDX:BBCA), Straits Times reported Thursday, citing a DBS spokesperson.
The response came after social media posts in Indonesia claimed DBS Indonesia could be folded into BCA, with DBS Indonesia shareholders receiving newly issued BCA shares for their 99% stake, the report said.
BCA's president commissioner, Jahja Setiaatmadja, also denied the claims, the report added.
