Singapore's corporate bond market up 6.7% to $116b

Government agencies dominated the bond market.

According to ADB's Asia Bond Monitor, LYC corporate bonds outstanding continued to expand steadily in 4Q13, reaching $116b at end-December based on AsianBondsOnline estimates representing a 1.9% q-o-q and 6.7% y-o-y increase. Singapore Statutory Boards-comprising government agencies such as the Housing and Development Board (HDB) and Land Transport Authority--and the financial sector continue to dominate the corporate bond market in terms of bond outstanding.

The report noted that the amount of LYC bonds outstanding of the top 30 corporate bond issuers in Singapore as at end-2013 reached $63.8b, or about half of the total corporate bond market.

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.
