There are two key categories of domestic debt instruments.
The first category of domestic debt instruments are issued under the Government Securities (Debt Market and Investment) Act for non-spending purposes. Borrowing proceeds raised under this Act are invested and cannot be spent. The debt instruments under this Act are issued for specific purposes including: 1. Publicly held domestic debt instruments comprising (a) Singapore Government Securities (Market Development) and Treasury Bills, which are issued to develop Singapore's debt markets; (b) Cash Management Treasury Bills, which are issued on an ad-hoc basis as a contingency cash management tool to manage the Government's short-term cashflow mismatches; and (c) Singapore Savings Bonds, which are issued to provide individual investors with a long-term savings option. 2. Non-publicly held domestic debt instruments comprising Special Singapore Government Securities, which are primarily issued to meet the investment needs of the Central Provident Fund.
The second category of domestic debt instrument are issued under the Significant Infrastructure Government Loan Act for spending purposes. Borrowing proceeds raised under this Act are used to finance spending on nationally significant infrastructure.
