SORA is the acronym for Singapore Overnight Rate Average and is the average interest rate that Singapore banks charge to lend to each other overnight. SORA is based on recorded past transactions and is more predictable and less volatile compared to other reference rates and hence is regularly used as a reference rate where loans are pegged to. SORA is set daily (working days) by the Association of Banks in Singapore and is publicly available on Association of Banks in Singapore website.

SIBOR (which is forward looking) is heading lower after stagnanting around at peak levels in 2023. SORA (which is backward looking) has follow suit but is set to drop over the next 12 months as inflation wanes further and interest rates drop. Both chart and data for 3 month and 1 month SIBOR indicates that both SIBOR and SORA have peaked and is set to drop to lower levels in 2024. Borrowers can start looking for floating interest rate loans to take advantage of mortgage rates. With interest rates still high as compared to the past 20 years, it will be most prudent for borrowers to take into account of higher interest rates when taking a loan so as not to overstretch themselves.
