Introduction jfc
jfcd Singapore has created its competitive niche as a destination for regional
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd headquarters, branch offices and holding companies for doing business all across
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd Asia.
jfcd environment, business-friendly legal and tax systems, immense logistics and jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd transportation capacities, and over sixty double taxation avoidance agreements,
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd among other advantages. Furthermore, the city-state consistently takes measures to
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd align its policies with the international standards emanating from the World Trade
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd Organization, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, and
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd even issue-centric organizations like the International Accounting Standards Board.
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
Singapore has consistently been ranked first on the World Bank’s Ease of Doing
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd Business Index, with particular strengths in “protecting investors” and “trading
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd across borders.” In fact, the city-state runs in such an efficient, business-friendly
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd manner that it has been said to run like a corporation itself; “Singapore Inc.”
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
Singapore’s excellent strategic location and highly open economy make it attractive
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd for companies looking to conduct business here. Furthermore, Singapore has a stable
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd political environment, low taxes and a highly skilled workforce making it one of the
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd electronics, technology and pharmaceuticals. jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd Although these sectors remain a jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd cornerstone of the economy, the recent growth of the financial services sector has
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd been more notable. Singapore has been a part of the World Trade Organisation
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd (WTO) since its inception in 1995, and has maintained low barriers to trade as part
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd more suitable to be invested than others. Those who invest in such business
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd industries will be sure to see many financial benefits coming their way. The
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd following are some of the most suitable industries to be invested in Singapore
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd today:
Singapore has the status of being one of the world’s financial hubs. This fact holds
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd true with regard to financial technology (fintech). In recent years, the size of the
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd fintech industry in Singapore has grown tremendously. Due to the implementation
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd of many incentives from the government as well as individual financial institutions,
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd cashless payments have become extremely common today. The many e-wallets
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd available in Singapore facilitate such payments. Therefore, the fintech industry of
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd Singapore has huge potential for profitability. jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
Many people in Singapore have chosen to join the rapidly expanding freelance
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd economy. The increase in the influence of social media has done much to
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd facilitate interaction between freelance workers and their clients. This fact applies
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd regardless of the line of work in which the freelancer inhabits. Freelancers who have
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd a significant network of clients can also leverage this large client base to their
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd advantage, resulting in even more profits and revenue. jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
According to the latest set of statistics, there are approximately 200,000 freelancers
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
It should be noted, however, that on occasion freelancers are sometimes not paid on
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd time. For this reason, all who intend to become freelancers in Singapore must have
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd high levels of self-discipline and be able to manage time and money well in order
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
The fitness industry in Singapore is among the most rapidly-evolving in the country.
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd Today, large, well-known gym chains are no longer the primary options of regular
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd gym-goers. This is because Singaporean gym-goers of today have become more
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd interested in different and somewhat unusual fitness options. Boutique fitness
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd businesses in particular have begun to thrive in the current Singaporean fitness
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd scene.
Tech start-ups have also been working with the Singaporean health and fitness
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd industry, and such collaborations have boosted the reputation and profitability of
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd both Singapore’s tech and fitness industries. Such start-ups have understood the
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd change in tastes of the modern Singaporean gym-goer. They have created programs
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd which enable their users to sample a variety of fitness activities which span many
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
Singapore’s medical industry is held in high regard all over the world. According to
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd the official Health Care Rankings, the country’s medical system is ranked sixth in the
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd world and first in Asia. The Singaporean government has been attempting to boost
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd this reputation by increasing its expenditure on healthcare. The increased level of
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd expenditure jfcd will jfcd be jfcd channeled jfcd towards jfcdgeneral jfcd and jfcd community jfcd hospitals,
jfcd polyclinics, eldercare centers, and nursing homes. For this reason, the demand for
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd people who work in the healthcare and medical industry is expected to increase.
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd support the country’s healthcare industry. For this reason, the industry requires the
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd input of researchers and engineers who will be able to design equipment which will
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
Although Singapore is a secure investment haven with stable economics and low risk,
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd it comes with it the higher cost of investment. The combination of limited land,
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd funneled labour and imported resources brings up the cost of business in Singapore
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd by a significant margin, and has to be contemplated by any business owner before
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd vesting any capital. Opportunity for a supernormal return in Singapore is mitigated
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd by the high start-up costs incurred. Low risk, low return.
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd reach out to the South-East Asian market is a much more plausible strategy to
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd consider.
Conclusion jfc
After analyzing all these factors, It is clear that Singapore is a remarkable country.
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd It houses talented and motivated people. It also provides great business
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd opportunities. I can conclude that its business success in both domestic and jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd friendly approach boosts business as well. Singapore’s continuing development has
jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd jfcd
jfcd made it a major competitor in the international market. The compulsory primary
