Introduction lfc

In a global economy dominated by huge industrial powers, the city-state of


lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd Singapore has created its competitive niche as a destination for regional
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd headquarters, branch offices and holding companies for doing business all across
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd Asia.

Singapore offers foreign investors a highly skilled workforce, English-speaking business


lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd environment, business-friendly legal and tax systems, immense logistics and lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd transportation capacities, and over sixty double taxation avoidance agreements,
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd among other advantages. Furthermore, the city-state consistently takes measures to
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd align its policies with the international standards emanating from the World Trade
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd Organization, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, and
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd even issue-centric organizations like the International Accounting Standards Board.
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

Singapore has consistently been ranked first on the World Bank’s Ease of Doing
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd Business Index, with particular strengths in “protecting investors” and “trading
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd across borders.” In fact, the city-state runs in such an efficient, business-friendly
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd manner that it has been said to run like a corporation itself; “Singapore Inc.”
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

Singapore’s excellent strategic location and highly open economy make it attractive
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd for companies looking to conduct business here. Furthermore, Singapore has a stable
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd political environment, low taxes and a highly skilled workforce making it one of the
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd most favorable business locations in the world.


lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

Singapore’s economy is heavily dependent on exports, with a particular focus on


lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd electronics, technology and pharmaceuticals. lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd Although these sectors remain a lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd cornerstone of the economy, the recent growth of the financial services sector has
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd been more notable. Singapore has been a part of the World Trade Organisation
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd (WTO) since its inception in 1995, and has maintained low barriers to trade as part
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd of an outward looking open economy.


lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd
In Singapore, just as is the case anywhere else in the world, certain industries are
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd more suitable to be invested than others. Those who invest in such business
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd industries will be sure to see many financial benefits coming their way. The
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd following are some of the most suitable industries to be invested in Singapore
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd today:

Financial Technology (Fintech) lfcd lfcd

Singapore has the status of being one of the world’s financial hubs. This fact holds
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd true with regard to financial technology (fintech). In recent years, the size of the
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd fintech industry in Singapore has grown tremendously. Due to the implementation
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd of many incentives from the government as well as individual financial institutions,
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd cashless payments have become extremely common today. The many e-wallets
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd available in Singapore facilitate such payments. Therefore, the fintech industry of
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd Singapore has huge potential for profitability. lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

Freelance Economy lfcd

Many people in Singapore have chosen to join the rapidly expanding freelance
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd economy. The increase in the influence of social media has done much to
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd facilitate interaction between freelance workers and their clients. This fact applies
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd regardless of the line of work in which the freelancer inhabits. Freelancers who have
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd a significant network of clients can also leverage this large client base to their
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd advantage, resulting in even more profits and revenue. lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

According to the latest set of statistics, there are approximately 200,000 freelancers
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd who work in Singapore today. Freelancers comprise approximately 9% of all


lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd residents who are employed in Singapore. As Singapore’s freelance economy


lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd continues to strengthen, this figure is only expected to increase significantly.


lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

It should be noted, however, that on occasion freelancers are sometimes not paid on
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd time. For this reason, all who intend to become freelancers in Singapore must have
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd
lfcd high levels of self-discipline and be able to manage time and money well in order
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd to ensure that they make significant profits.


lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

Health and Fitness lfcd lfcd

The fitness industry in Singapore is among the most rapidly-evolving in the country.
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd Today, large, well-known gym chains are no longer the primary options of regular
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd gym-goers. This is because Singaporean gym-goers of today have become more
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd interested in different and somewhat unusual fitness options. Boutique fitness
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd businesses in particular have begun to thrive in the current Singaporean fitness
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd scene.

Tech start-ups have also been working with the Singaporean health and fitness
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd industry, and such collaborations have boosted the reputation and profitability of
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd both Singapore’s tech and fitness industries. Such start-ups have understood the
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd change in tastes of the modern Singaporean gym-goer. They have created programs
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd which enable their users to sample a variety of fitness activities which span many
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd different disciplines. lfcd

Medical Industry lfcd

Singapore’s medical industry is held in high regard all over the world. According to
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd the official Health Care Rankings, the country’s medical system is ranked sixth in the
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd world and first in Asia. The Singaporean government has been attempting to boost
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd this reputation by increasing its expenditure on healthcare. The increased level of
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd expenditure lfcd will lfcd be lfcd channeled lfcdtowards lfcd general lfcd and lfcd community lfcd hospitals,
lfcd polyclinics, eldercare centers, and nursing homes. For this reason, the demand for
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd people who work in the healthcare and medical industry is expected to increase.
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

The manufacturing of medical products is expected to grow exponentially in order to


lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd support the country’s healthcare industry. For this reason, the industry requires the
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd input of researchers and engineers who will be able to design equipment which will
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd be used by the healthcare professionals of Singapore.


lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd
Recommendation lfc

Although Singapore is a secure investment haven with stable economics and low risk,
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd it comes with it the higher cost of investment. The combination of limited land,
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd funneled labour and imported resources brings up the cost of business in Singapore
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd by a significant margin, and has to be contemplated by any business owner before
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd vesting any capital. Opportunity for a supernormal return in Singapore is mitigated
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd by the high start-up costs incurred. Low risk, low return.
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

As a retail market by itself, the population numbers in Singapore are definitely


lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd insufficient to sustain a fast-growing corporation. But to use Singapore as a nexus to


lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd reach out to the South-East Asian market is a much more plausible strategy to
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd consider.

Conclusion lfc

After analyzing all these factors, It is clear that Singapore is a remarkable country.
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd It houses talented and motivated people. It also provides great business
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd opportunities. I can conclude that its business success in both domestic and lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd international platforms is highly benefited by government policies. Its enterprise


lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd friendly approach boosts business as well. Singapore’s continuing development has
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd made it a major competitor in the international market. The compulsory primary
lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd lfcd

lfcd education and hardworking citizen are contributing factors.
