The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) requires corporate issuers to file a prospectus and follow procedures outlined in the Singapore's Securities and Futures Act of 2001. For corporate bonds that have been or will be offered through a securities exchange, a copy of this prospectus, together with a credit rating (if applicable) must be lodged and registered with MAS.

MAS issues government securities on behalf of the Government. These securities are generally issued via auction and according to the issuance calendar set by MAS.

Bond issuance by foreign entities is governed by MAS Notice 757, a policy that maintains the non-internationalization of Singapore dollar.
