Hong Kong and Singapore, 12 November 2026 – Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, set initial pricing guidance on 12 November for its first proposed bond issues in Hong Kong and Singapore dollars, according to a term sheet. Guidance on the 2036 notes was 5.50% in Hong Kong dollars and 3.65% in Singapore dollars. The figures are starting points for discussions with investors, not final yields or evidence that the bonds have been sold.
The term sheet moves the transaction beyond the preliminary plans disclosed a day earlier. For Asian fixed-income investors, it provides the first rates against which to assess Alphabet’s credit risk in two local currencies. The difference between the rates does not by itself make one issue cheaper for Alphabet or more attractive to investors: the currencies have different interest-rate benchmarks, and hedging can change the comparison.
