SIBOR jumps to six-year high of 0.973% while fixed income indices decline

Both government and corporate bonds declined last week.

The 3-month Singapore Interbank Offered Rate (SIBOR) jumped to a six-year high of 0.973% on Friday, its highest since hitting 0.979% on Janaury 7 2009.

Meanwhile, the Singapore Fixed Income Indices (SFI) declined 0.30% to 119.05 last week, as both government and corporate bond indices sustained losses.

Government bonds have fallen 3.13% since the end of January 2015, making it one of the weaker performers year-to-date within the SFI.

The SGD appreciated 0.64% against the USD, bringing the year-to-date depreciation to 4.31%.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
