MAS to auction $2 billion of 20-year SGS bond

On 27 August MAS will auction $2 billion of a new 20-year SGS bond with effective issue size of only $1.8 billion.

“This is on the low side of market expectations for a new benchmark issue as the last new 20-year issue size was $2.5 billion of which MAS kept $300 million. The tender closes at noon on Friday 27 August, and should be fairly well-received given the heightened global risk aversion theme due to slowing economic growth, record US Treasury bond rally, the smallish issue size, still robust demand for SGD-denominated assets, and with the SGD NEER still trading on the stronger side of its parity band,” said OCBC.

The 20-year SGS bond yield is expected to fetch around 2.9-3.0% given the dominant global slowdown and risk aversion theme.

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.
