In April 2002, a SGS Primary Dealers (PDs) peer evaluation was introduced as part of MAS' efforts to promote and enhance the efficiency, competitiveness and professionalism of the SGS market. This semi-annual survey allows PDs to appraise their peers in the following areas of market professionalism: the speed at which prices are quoted, the readiness to make markets, and the ability to provide competitive pricing.
In the peer evaluation for the period Jul-Dec 2002, the top three PDs that were acknowledged by their peers for outstanding performance in SGS outright and repo markets are listed in alphabetical order:
| Top 3 Primary Dealers |
| SGS Outright |
Citibank |
HSBC |
Standard Chartered Bank |
| SGS Repo |
DBS Bank |
OCBC Bank |
Standard Chartered Bank |
The next survey will be conducted in June 2003.
