Singapore stands out in the latest "Global Financial Center Index" ranking. It is the highest ranked city in Asia, the first financial center in Asia and the third largest financial center in the world!
01
Singapore tops the list
Become a financial center in Asia
Recently, the latest Global Financial Centers Index (GFCI) shows that Singapore has improved its ranking, becoming the third largest financial center in the world and the first in Asia!
The "Global Financial Center Index Report (GFCI 32)" mainly evaluates and ranks 19 major global financial centers in terms of business environment, human capital, infrastructure, financial industry development level, reputation, etc.
This is due to Singapore's unique advantages in the Asia Pacific region and even in the international community:
National strategic advantage, geographical location advantage, legal system advantage, global integration advantage, dual bank financial advantage, tax planning advantage and privacy protection advantage.
Moreover, since the epidemic, Singapore's manufacturing industry has been the only industry without negative growth, and its economic performance has been amazing.
02
More and more multinational enterprises and rich people
Choose Singapore
Singapore's open market environment, livable environment, core position in Southeast Asian island countries, "tax haven" and other advantages attract many multinational enterprises and rich people.
Since this year, Sony Music, Dyson, VinFast, Modena, TSMC and other large multinational enterprises have chosen Singapore to set up their headquarters in Asia or around the world.
Societe Generale, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and other banks also moved a large number of employees to Singapore.
In addition, in recent years, Singapore has become the first choice for the global rich to "leave".
Henley&Partners, a London consulting firm, recently released a set of data: in the first half of 2022, Singapore has added 2800 millionaires, and more and more millionaires have moved here.
