    Prior to 1998, Singapore’s bond market was small and relatively undeveloped because the
    government ran budget surpluses and had no need to raise funds in the capital markets. Singapore
    Government Securities (SGSs) were issued mainly to meet banks’ statutory liquidity requirements.
    Indeed, most SGSs were held by banks and insurance companies, and not actively traded.
    The absence of a deep local bond market meant that private borrowers relied mainly on bank
    borrowings and equity to meet their funding needs. The Asian financial crisis of 1997-98 demonstrated
    the need for a broader range of funding sources, which led the Singapore government to embark on a
    major programme to develop a local bond market. This paper provides the history of this
    developmental effort, and discusses the issues and challenges facing the Singapore bond market
    going forward.
