DBS eyes USD green bond debut

This would be the first offshore issue of this kind from a Singapore issuer.

Reuters reported that DBS Group Holdings, rated Aa2/AA- (Moody’s/Fitch), has hired banks for a potential offering of US dollar Green bonds, which would be the first offshore issue of this kind from a Singapore issuer.

The bank plans to sell 144A/Reg S five-year fixed and/or floating-rate senior unsecured Green benchmark bonds off its global medium-term note programme.

DBS Bank is sole global coordinator as well as joint bookrunner with Credit Agricole, HSBC, ING, Natixis, Societe Generale and Wells Fargo Securities.

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.
