To enhance price transparency and improve investor access to trading activity in Singapore government bonds and bills, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) launched the E-Bond platform for Singapore Government Securities (SGS) in July 2005.

The E-Bond platform, via Bloomberg Professional Service, allows global investors easy access to real-time trading volume and price quotations by SGS primary dealers. It is a straight-through-processing (STP) electronic trading platform for SGS bonds and treasury bills. It offers SGS primary dealers a multi-dealer Requests For Quote feature and an anonymous trading platform.

The Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Ltd (SGX-ST) developed an automatic order matching system for bond trading called the Bonds Quotation System. However, the trading of government securities and corporate and statutory bonds in the secondary market is primarily conducted on an over-the-counter (OTC) basis.

Major futures contracts are traded on the Singapore Exchange Derivatives Trading Division (SGX-DT), formerly known as the Singapore International Monetary Exchange (SIMEX). SIMEX is now part of the merged Singapore Exchange (SGX). SGX offers two trading mechanisms: the open outcry system and the Electronic Trading System (SGX-ETS), which is available to all members of SGX-DT.
