2. FINANCIAL HUB
Being home to more than 500 financial institutions (including world banks,
insurance companies, and investment funds), naturally makes the development
and running of a business easier, as well as it provides comfortable access to
financing. Ranked fourth among 83 global financial hubs, Singapore is the
largest corporate banking centre in Asia.
Due to the low cost of financing, many companies have also set up financial
and treasury centres in Singapore to lend for subsidiaries globally.Total volume
of loans of domestic banking units in 2014 was about 430 billion USD, out of
which loans to business volume was about 300 billion USD.
The huge number of banks also presents loan syndication as aviable financing
option allowing companies to tap into the diverse range of well-capitalised
Asian banks for funding. The volume of loan syndication reached US $60.5
billion in 2014.
Capital financing is also an attractive option, with the Singapore Exchange
(SGX) being Asia’s most internationalised exchange. In particular, companies of
36 commodities are listed on SGX, with a total market capitalisation of more
than US$50 billion.
BUSINESS HUB
Trust is a keyword of business, as well as of everyday life in Singapore. Trust,
together with rules set by the state up to the highest standards, brought
Singapore to the foremost position in matters such as transparency, pro-busi-
ness orientation and high-level functioning of legislation. Thanks to this fact,
Singapore has also been rated as the “World’s easiest place to do business“ in
the long term.
More than 7,000 multinational corporations (MNCs) have been set up here,
out of which more than half use Singapore as their regional headquarters.
Business in Singapore is also supported by various international agreements
that have been signed by countries such as USA, Japan, Australia, China, India,
South Korea, etc.

TRADING HUB
By 2020, Asia is expected to account for 60% of global trade flows, shifting the
focus away from Europe and North America. Strategically located at the heart
of Asia, Singapore is right in the middle of key trade flows from Europe, US,
Middle East, Australia and Asia which will further strengthen its position as a
global trading hub.
Many global trading companies have relocated some of their most vital opera-
tions such as global shipping and trade finance to Singapore. With the upward
trend in trade volumes, their Singapore offices are expanding into regional or
strategic headquarters, performing significant services such as finance & treas-
ury, risk management, freight & logistics management, business development
and global procurement & marketing.
Robust Trade Ecosystem - Singapore’s large cluster of trading firms across the
energy, agro commodities and metal & mineral sectors, isunder-girded by a
strong ecosystem of trade services in finance, risk management, insurance, ar-
bitration and logistics.
