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.

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.
