From this result alone, it is unclear whether this represents a pure ‘SGD’ currency, or (as the name suggests) a USD\/SGD spot FX pair.<\/p>\n
The FIGI BBG0013HFJF2 does represent the USDSGD Spot Exchange Rate – Price of 1 USD in SGD. All currency FIGI represent pairs. A FIGI is not assigned to a single representation of a currency alone. No FIGI exists for just USD or CAD or SGD, only in pairs of currency.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This clears up the confusion quite nicely.\u00a0 Personally I would have chosen the ticker ‘USDSGD’ to represent the pair, but so be it.<\/p>\n
