Low interest rates should make 2020 another good year for SGD bond market
Observers say this will be so as long as market conditions are stable and geopolitical hotspots don't flare up
Singapore
FIXED-income bankers are looking forward to another good year, with interest rates likely to remain low, while issuers have some refinancing to do as bonds mature or become callable in 2020.
Sean Henderson, HSBC's co-head for debt capital markets in the Asia-Pacific, said: "While the market is quietening down into the year end, we expect conditions to remain strong early in 2020 should interest rates remain stable."
