Singapore

The nation has long embraced an outward-facing, export-driven economic strategy that fosters a dynamic two-way flow of trade and investment. This approach has solidified Singapore’s status as a premier global trading hub, with a trading volume nearly triple its GDP.

Singapore’s diversified economy encompasses key industries such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, food and beverage, aerospace and ship repair. Notably, the semiconductor sector contributes around 7% to the nation’s GDP, with over 60 semiconductor companies holding an 11% share of the global market. Singapore has also emerged as a leading financial, trade and wealth management centre for Southeast Asia – establishing itself as a global leader in currency and commodity trading, transshipment and oil and gas refining.

The city-state’s world-class infrastructure further enhances its appeal, featuring cutting-edge telecommunications networks, an efficient public transportation system, top-tier healthcare and education services and state-of-the-art air and seaport facilities.

Widely regarded as a strategic launchpad for businesses eyeing opportunities across Southeast Asia, Singapore continues to attract a growing number of international companies. Their presence reflects the robust confidence that international investors place in the city-state as a regional business hub.
