The bank said SSDS+ is ready to support tokenised government and corporate retail bonds as well as wholesale issuance. It manages securities transfers and ownership records, while the integrated RENTAS+ system handles payments and settlement.

BNM said RENTAS+ can provide payment settlement around the clock in central bank money. The announcement describes financial-market infrastructure and intended capabilities; it does not report an issuance volume or a completed bond sale.
