and the workload in the db unit has been one that we have not always reached the level of efficiency and effectiveness that i would like to see. that has been aggravated by the increase in workload in the last year. >> i don't mean to use the wrong word "served." and i understand we also have the public defender here, and we have had both the d.a. and the public defender in this committee in past years, talking about just how with our bad budget years we have higher caseloads and do much more with less staff. that is just the reality. i understand that has been a constraint on your department. >> well, it is. if we want to talk about comparisons in workload, i think it's important to understand how the two units are structured and what the responsibilities are. we handle 100% of the universal council criminal cases through the courtrooms. the problem has accumulated over many years and i don't want to lead you to believe it just occurred yesterday, but if you look at the chart that i have here. it shows the number of court events that the office hans handles every year. we're handlin

dbs earned $614 million, it narrowed bad debts but says weak margin still weighed on earnings. the bank was one of the worst performers in the index in singapore. we can look and see, still down relatively modest 1.6%. cnbc sat down with the lender's ceo, asking about margin compression in china and how he's planning to drive growth in the world's second largest economy. >> the pressure was broad based in a particular way. one, china nims have been coming off sharply. that was a function two of things which started like six months ago. one was the state of liberalization. when they liberalized interest rates and allow people to price loans down to 30% lower than the stipulated rate and allowed deposits to price up, that put margin pressure on most of the mid-sized banks. in our context, though, the bigger driver was the fact that we had large state finance that we built over the last couple of years. in the past two or three quarters, that taped finance portfolio has been repricing down. that's been the biggest source of margin pressure. most of that happened in the third quart
