The first bond will be issued on the January 3.

The Monetary Authority of Singapore announced that up to $2b of Savings Bonds will be offered in 2017.

MAS noted that the first bond will be ussed on January 3, and up to $150m will be available. A new savings bond will be then issued every month.

Those who are interested are given from December 1 to December 27 to apply.

"Interested investors are reminded that they must have an Individual Central Depository (CDP) Securities account with Direct Crediting Service (DCS) activated," MAS pointed out.

It added, "CDP helps investors keep track of their Savings Bond holdings and facilitates the crediting of Savings Bond interest payments into investors’ bank accounts. Investors who already have Individual CDP Securities accounts should check2 that DCS has been activated before applying for Savings Bonds."

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.
