| Singapore is strategically located
in a region of opportunities. Located at the heart of Southeast
Asia, Singapore is well placed to serve the fast-growing markets
of the Asia-Pacific region. Financial institutions in Singapore
also trade around-the-clock with Asia Pacific centres, as well
as European and American centres, making Singapore a significant
hub for 24-hour trading in foreign exchange and securities.
International travel is equally convenient. Singapore has grown
to be a strategic link and important gateway for global investors.
As one of the top 5 most active foreign exchange trading
centres in the world, Singapore is also the second largest
over-the-counter derivatives trading centre in Asia, and a
leading commodities derivatives trading hub.
With total assets under management of around S$ 1 trillion,
and which continues to see steady growth, Singapore is recognized
as one of the premier asset management location in Asia.
Singapore’s unique location and sophisticated telecommunications
network allow financial institutions here to transact business
with any part of the world within the same working day. International
travel out of Singapore is equally convenient, with more than
84 international airlines operating scheduled services through
Singapore to more than 180 cities in 57 countries worldwide.
