Covered bonds from S'pore banks on the cards
Sources say lack of clarity over title issues close to being sorted out
Singapore

Singapore's central bank set rules for covered bonds almost a year ago, but the first deals have been delayed for lack of clarity over title issues involving the city's pension fund.
