Singapore T-Bill Discount-Price Mechanics
How Singapore Treasury bills differ from coupon-paying SGS bonds.
MECHANISM
T-bills are issued as short-term discount securities rather than conventional coupon bonds. Investor return is therefore embedded in the difference between purchase price and redemption value.
WHAT TO MONITOR
Compare quoted yield conventions carefully when placing T-bills beside SORA, deposits or coupon bonds.
Primary-source starting points: Monetary Authority of Singapore — Bonds and Bills and Singapore Ministry of Finance — Assets and Liabilities. Source availability varies by mechanism.
