OCBC's net profit rose to S$1.22 billion in July to September from S$1.03 billion in the same period a year earlier and versus the S$936 million average of four analyst estimates compiled by Refinitiv.

How come can make such huge profits? Is it gambling the forex market, bitcoin market, bond market? Our economy is so small no way can make such huge profits.
