Rising interest in Singapore Savings Bonds is a sign of investor maturity

THE Singapore Savings Bonds (SSB) programme has come of age in little more than three years since its introduction.

There is no question that it has gained full acceptance among savers as an alternative - and possibly superior - form of savings compared to putting money in a bank.

This is underscored by rising demand from retail investors, particularly from the second quarter of 2018 when the monthly issuance of bonds consistently crossed the S$200 million mark.
