Posted by Property Launch Invest on Saturday, 29 October 2016 in Property News

Singapore has pipped Hong Kong to become the world's third-best financial centre, according to a global index out this week.

Key rates for mortgages, business lending fall

Posted by Property Launch Invest on Monday, 22 June 2015 in Property News

Two key interest rates affecting business loans and mortgages have fallen from their 2015 peaks.

But experts say this is likely temporary relief as positive United States jobs data on Friday and a stronger greenback have reinforced expectations of an interest rate hike this year.

The three-month swap offer rate (SOR), commonly used to price commercial loans, fell 25 per cent to 0.84886 per cent on Friday from a year-high of 1.13207 per cent on March 24, while the six-month SOR fell nearly 22 per cent to 1.01130 per cent from a year-high of 1.29498 per cent on March 23.

MAS eases TDSR rules for some home owners refinancing loans

Posted by Property Launch Invest on Sunday, 20 April 2014 in Property News

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has widened the existing exemptions from the Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) to cover the refinancing of loans for owner-occupied properties that were bought before the measure was introduced last year.

In a statement, the MAS said it had received feedback from borrowers who have faced challenges refinancing such loans.

Under the revised rules, a borrower who bought a residential property before the TDSR rules were introduced will be exempted from the TDSR threshold as long as the buyer occupies the home that is being refinanced.
