THE cut-off yield on Singapore’s latest six-month Treasury bill (T-bill) fell to 2.99 per cent, based on auction results released by the Monetary Authority of Singapore on Thursday (Jan 16).

This was down from the 3.05 per cent offered in the previous six-month auction that closed on Jan 2.
Demand for the latest tranche rose. The auction received a total of S$18.4 billion in applications for the S$7.2 billion on offer, representing a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.55.
In comparison, the previous auction received a total of S$13.7 billion in applications for the S$6.9 billion on offer, representing a bid-to-cover ratio of 1.99.

Median yield for the latest auction stood at 2.88 per cent, down slightly from 2.9 per cent in the previous auction.

Average yield decreased to 2.52 per cent, from 2.58 per cent previously.
Singapore will issue up to another S$450 billion in government securities, with a parliamentary motion having been passed in November last year to raise the government’s issuance limit to S$1.515 trillion, from S$1.065 trillion previously. The new limit is expected to last until 2029.
