SINGAPORE — A vault that can hold 200 tonnes of silver will open for business in Singapore this week to cater to increasing demand among Asia’s wealthy even as the precious metal leads price declines this year.

The new facility is 30 per cent booked at the opening, said Mr Joshua Rotbart, Precious Metals General Manager at Malca-Amit Global, which owns the vault.

The storage will add to the firm’s five vaults at the Singapore FreePort, which are fully reserved for gold, he added. FreePort is located near Changi Airport.
