    SINGAPORE's bank lending extended its growth streak for the fourth straight month in February, lifted by continued growth in housing and construction loans.

    Loans through the domestic banking unit - which captures lending in all currencies, but reflects mainly Singapore-dollar lending - were up 0.5 per cent to S$686.73 billion in February, compared with S$683.59 billion in January, data from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) showed on Wednesday.
