IN a first since the 1980s, the government will borrow to finance its infrastructure projects. This will primarily be done through the new Significant Infrastructure Government Loan Act (SINGA) bonds, which will finance major, long-term infrastructure developments.
The government will also issue green bonds for sustainability projects, including green public infrastructure.
