SINGAPORE
Situated at the heart of Asia, Singapore is
a unique confluence of East and West. With
every major Asian city within a six-hour flight,
the island city is the ideal place to experience
the psyche, culture, and practices of the
region, from China to India, Southeast Asia,
and Northeast Asia.
As a leading business and financial centre, Singapore is
on par with global cities like London, Tokyo, and New York.
And with good reason.
• Singapore has overtaken the USA to become the most
competitive nation in the world, according to the World
Economic Forum (WEF) 2019 Competitiveness Report,
well recognised for ease of doing business, a robust
labour force, and low levels of bureaucracy.
• It is one of the most business-friendly cities, providing a
vibrant and stable environment that fosters entrepreneurship
and innovation.
• As the centre of global economic activity pivots east,
Singapore is the perfect base to tap into Asia’s growth.
Singapore has also been ranked the No. 1 City with the best
investment potential* and Asia's Most Liveable City^.
* According to the US-based research institute Business Environment
Risk Intelligence (BERI), 2014
