How is the interest rate for Singapore Savings Bond (SSB) determined?

I can't seem to get the way they determine the interest rate for Singapore savings bond. What is the ssb rate pegged to? Is there a math behind it?

How are SSB rates calculated?

For the purpose of calculating the Step-up Coupon rates for Savings Bonds, the 1, 2, 5 and 10-year benchmark SGS yields are used as reference. These reference yields will be based on the simple average of the respective daily SGS benchmark yields fromĀ the month before the public notice of issuanceĀ (the ā€œreference SGS yieldsā€), as provided on the ā€œDaily SGS Pricesā€ page of the SGS website . Reference SGS yields for tenors between the benchmark issuances are interpolated using a hermite spline function.
