Singapore banks’ net capital-bond supply, which includes AT1s and T2 bonds, is expected to be negative this year. And this is possibly due to low refinancing needs and sluggish loan growth potential. So as potential rate cuts are bringing focus back to our local bank’s potential bonds issuance this year, how might the bank’s low funding needs limit their capital bond supply in 2024? On Money in the Market, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Rena Kwok, Credit Analyst, Asian Financials, Bloomberg Intelligence, to find out more.

Money in the Market: Why our local banks' net capital-bond supply looks negative for 2024

AI isn't a future story anymore. This week on AI & Me, Lynlee looks at three places artificial intelligence is showing up right now, and what it actually means for you.

From OpenAI's latest enterprise push to Google's Gemini on Android, and one story from a Singapore worksite that quietly says it all.

When a conflict thousands of kilometres away shows up in your grocery bill, your Batam ferry surcharge, and your school bus fee — fossil fuel dependence runs deeper than most of us realise. Alberto Salvo, Associate Professor and Dean’s Chair in the Department of Economics at the National University of Singapore’s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, has a clear message: the real risk isn't moving too fast away from fossil fuels, it's moving too slowly.

On Viewpoint, Salvo shares with Lynlee why Singapore is more exposed than it thinks, and what a genuine energy transition would need to look like. From EVs and Singapore's gas-powered electricity grid, to why fuel subsidies help the wrong people, the ASEAN Power Grid, Singapore's 2027 ASEAN chairmanship, carbon tax revenue, and whether the green transition can be fair for lower-income households.
