SingTel defends credit rating following downgrade

SingTel has issued a statement after being downgraded by Moody's to Aa3 credit rating.

On 15 August 2012 Moody's Investors Service downgraded Singapore Telecommunications Limited's senior unsecured ratings to Aa3 from Aa2. Moody's also downgraded to Aa3 from Aa2 all notes issued by SingTel Group Treasury Pte. Ltd, under the unconditional and irrevocable guarantee of SingTel.

In response, SingTel said:

Singapore Telecommunications Limited refers to the announcement by Moody’s Investors Service.

At Aa3, SingTel’s credit rating continues to be strong among its peers in the global telecommunications industry. SingTel remains financially-disciplined in its approach to investments and is committed to maintaining the Group’s investment-grade credit rating.

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.
