SIBOR, SOR data to be subject to usage fees starting October

Usage fees can be as high as $1,500 per month.

All SIBOR and SOR data will be subject to a usage fee starting October 2015, according to the ABS Benchmarks Administration Co. Pte Ltd (ABS Co).

In addition, subscribers who receive real-time SIBOR and/or SOR data from a market data vendor will be required to pay end user fees. SIBOR and SOR data delayed by 24-hours or more will be available for free to end users.

“There has been increasing work, oversight and investment needed to strengthen the robustness, transparency and efficiency of the Benchmark contribution process in Singapore,” said ABS.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
