It has been a busy weekend at Bank Danamon Indonesia’s headquarters in Jakarta after the Indonesian lender said after the market closed on Friday that its parent company, which is owned by Temasek Holdings, has received an offer for its 67.4% stake in the bank. According to sources, the bid came from Singapore’s DBS Group, and could end up being the largest bank takeover in Indonesia ever.
