THE Singapore bond market had a gangbuster May as corporates and investors engaged each other following a slow first quarter.

May saw 28 deals worth S$3.4 billion done, the highest monthly volume since November 2013 which had 16 issues valued at S$4.3 billion. The S$3.4 billion raised in May 2015 was 13 per cent higher than the S$3 billion done in the same month last year.
