- Singapore launched a S$2.6 billion ($2.0 billion) green government infrastructure bond on Wednesday at a yield of 2.40%, according to a new term sheet seen by Reuters.

The yield was tighter than initial guidance of around 2.55%. Earlier sheets showed the bond had drawn more than S$5.6 billion in orders from investors, including S$1.85 billion from the joint lead managers.

Here are more details from the term sheet:

  • The bond is due on August 1, 2046, and was launched at a yield of 2.40% per annum.

  • The Monetary Authority of Singapore is issuing the bond on behalf of the government. Proceeds will help fund major long-term infrastructure projects and spending eligible under Singapore's green bond framework.

  • The offer includes S$50 million for the public in Singapore and S$2.55 billion for institutional and other investors. MAS may change the final size and split between the two offers.

  • The bond is expected to settle on August 3, 2026, and list on the Singapore Exchange.

  • DBS DBSM.SI, Deutsche Bank DBKGn.DE, HSBC HSBA.L, OCBC OCBC.SI and Standard Chartered STAN.L are bookrunners. Reuters reported on the mandates on Tuesday.
