DBS grants A$295m green loan to GIC

It is DBS’s first AUD-denominated green loan.

Australian wealth fund GIC was granted a A$295m ($284m) green loan from DBS, to be used for the refinancing of Chifley Tower Sydney.

The loan extended by DBS is the bank’s first AUD-denominated green loan.

It is also one of the largest green loans extended by a Singapore lender in the Australian market.

“Australia is ranked by the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark as one of the greenest real estate markets in the world, and we see a lot of promise for DBS to support property players looking to raise sustainable financing to fund their continued investment in Australia,” Chew Chong Lim, head of Real Estate, Institutional Banking, at DBS, said.

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.
