Housing and Development Board issues new notes

A S$400 million, 5-year Fixed Rate Note is part of issuance under HDB's S$7bln MTN Programme.

The Housing and Development Board has launched a new issuance of Notes under its S$7 billion Medium Term Note (MTN) Programme.

The issuance comprises a S$400 million, 5-year Fixed Rate Note issue with a coupon of 1.87% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears.

The Notes to be issued will be in denominations of S$250,000 and will be offered by way of placement to investors who fall within Sections 274 and/or 275 of the Securities and Futures Act, Chapter 289 of Singapore. Application is being made for the listing of the Notes on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST). Admission of the Notes to the Official List of the SGX-ST is not to be taken as an indication of the merits of HDB, its subsidiaries or the Notes. The Notes will be cleared through The Central Depository (Pte) Limited. The lead manager is The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited.

Under HDB's MTN Programme, HDB may from time to time, issue bonds (or notes) to finance its development programme and working capital requirements.

HDB was set up as a statutory board on 1 February 1960. HDB houses 82% of Singapore's population and enables nine out of ten of them to be homeowners. This has made Singapore one of the highest home ownership nations in the world. The provision of quality housing and related services, and the renewal of the older HDB estates, will remain the focus for HDB.

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.
