HDB issues $800m fixed-rate notes

The notes have a coupon of 1.265% per annum and are payable semi-annually.

The Housing & Development Board (HDB) has issued $800m worth of 10-year fixed-rate notes under its $32b multicurrency medium term note (MTN) programme, according to a media release.

The notes have a coupon of 1.265% per annum and are payable semi-annually in arrear, according to HDB. The notes will mature in 2030 and are rated Aaa by Moody’s Investors Service.

Further, the notes are in denominations of $250,000 and were offered by way of placement to investors. HDB has also obtained approval in principle for the listing of the notes on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST) and are cleared through the Central Depository.

DBS Bank and United Overseas Bank will act as the joint lead managers and bookrunners for the notes.

Under HDB’s MTN programme, HDB may from time to time, issue bonds to finance its development programmes and working capital requirements, as well as to refinance the existing borrowings.

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.
