Trading Information
Singapore has been called an economic miracle because of how much it has achieved in a short span of time, in spite of its lack of natural resources. Singapore’s core industries lie in electronics, chemicals, financial services, oil drilling equipment, petroleum refining, rubber processing and products, processed food, ship repair, offshore platform construction, life sciences, and entreport trade. Singapore’s free-market economy and political stability, together with a modern infrastructure, business transparency and favorable tax conditions, make it attractive to investors.
