HDB raises $1b through seven-year bond issue at 2.21% coupon

The notes pay interest semi-annually and mature on 14 July 2033.

The Housing & Development Board (HDB) has raised $1b through a seven-year fixed-rate note issuance under its $42b Multicurrency Medium Term Note (MTN) Programme.

The notes, issued on 14 July 2026, carry an annual coupon rate of 2.210%, paid semi-annually, and will mature on 14 July 2033.

They have been assigned an Aaa rating by Moody’s Ratings.

The notes were issued in denominations of $250,000 and placed with institutional and accredited investors under Singapore’s Securities and Futures Act 2001.

Approval in principle has been granted for the notes to be listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST).

The listing does not represent an assessment of HDB, its subsidiaries, or the notes’ merits.

The issuance was arranged by Bank of China, DBS Bank Ltd., Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Ltd., Singapore Branch, and United Overseas Bank Limited, which acted as joint lead managers and bookrunners.

HDB’s medium-term note programme allows the statutory board to issue bonds to fund its development programmes, meet working capital needs, and refinance existing borrowings.

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.
