SGX to launch $1.5b multicurrency debt issuance programme

The net proceeds will be utilised to finance investments of the firms and its subsidiaries.

Singapore Exchange (SGX) has established a $1.5b multicurrency debt issuance programme consisting of medium term notes or perpetual securities denominated in any currency, amount and tenor, an announcement revealed.

The net proceeds will be utilised to finance investments of the firms and its subsidiaries and for general working capital purposes. DBS Bank and Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore) are the arrangers of the programme.

Its programme allows for such securities to be issued to institutional investors, as well as for retail notes to be issued and made available for trading on the SGX Mainboard.

This has been the firm’s first fundraising in 19 years, following its initial public offering in 2000. SGX assured that its terms and conditions will be released as it may be modified by the relevant pricing supplement upon issue of the securities.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
