As one of the pre-eminent financial centres in the Asia-Pacific, Singapore has attracted financial institutions and global investors as a hub for fixed income primary and secondary activity. Recently, the Monetary Authority of Singapore launched the Asian Bond Grant intended to incentivize corporates across the region to list on the Singapore Exchange. The move is also to encourage the adoption of credit rating by issuers as among the conditions to help broaden and deepen investor participation.
