Credit ratings improve market transparency by providing timely and independent assessments of the credit worthiness of bond issuers. It is thus important for the development of the domestic bond market that more issuers rate their bonds. The SGD Credit Rating Grant Scheme was established to encourage bond issuers to obtain credit ratings, by offsetting a large part of the credit rating expenses.
The scheme is valid till 31 March 2022.
Who can Apply
