THE Singapore Exchange (SGX) will replace the fixed rates for its securities borrowing and lending (SBL) programme with variable and more competitive rates with effect from Dec 2, a move which will benefit both borrowers and lenders, the local bourse said in a statement on Wednesday.

Under the current programme, the lending fee rate is fixed at 4 per cent per annum, while the borrowing fee rate stands at 6 per cent per annum.
