SSB year-1 rate history
This issue in context
- Year-1 change: The 2.59% year-1 rate is 47 bp lower than the previous SSB issue (GX24090E, 3.06% year 1).
- Trailing 12 months: Across the previous 12 SSB issues, year-1 rates ranged from 2.72% to 3.30%. This year-1 rate sits at the bottom of that range.
- Step-up profile: The 10-year average (2.77%) is 18 bp above the year-1 coupon — a relatively flat schedule, with limited differential between year-1 and the 10-year average.
- Demand: Applications of S$207M were 107% of the S$194M allotment — oversubscribed, so MAS allotted by random ballot above the cutoff amount.
