Singapore is a leading country on the global stage, an economic powerhouse with a GDP of US$397Bn (2021) and population of 5.5 million. It is a major hub for banking & financial services, aviation and maritime shipping industries. It also houses specialised industries like wealth management & family offices, fintech, technology, new age companies, FMCG, commodities, healthcare, arbitration & litigation centre and many others.
Singapore is a favoured destination to set up regional and global headquarters. It is known for highest standards of governance, transparency, first world advanced infrastructure, safety and racial harmony. It is the only Asian Country with AAA sovereign credit rating. It is therefore a natural choice for capital & trade flows as well as top talent. As the adage goes it is “a great place to live, work & play”.
