1 in 3 private home mortgages under a floating rate: MAS

For HDBs, that’s just 1 in 5 loans extended by financial institutions.

Over 1 in 3 or 37% of private home mortgages are under a floating rate as of Q2, according to the Monetary Authority of Singapore, making them more susceptible to changes in the interest rates.

In response to a question posed by MP Chua Kheng Wee Louis, MAS senior minister and minister in charge Tharman Shanmugaratnam named the percentage of mortgages that are under a floating rate: that is, 20% of loans extended for HDB flat purchases, and 37% of loans extended for private residential property purchases.

Meanwhile, 63% of loans extended by financial institutions for private residential property purchases were either on rates linked to board rates or fixed deposit rates, or fixed interest rates over the first few years of their loan.

For HDB flat mortgages, 80% were on fixed rates as of Q2.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
