SINGAPORE BUSINESS GUIDE: BACK COVER
Singapore
The tiny multi-ethnic city-state of Singapore, which did not exist as a separate
entity with an independent economy until 1965, has become the conomic wonder of
Southeast Asia. Growing from a regional shipping hub to a low-cost manufacturing
center, and then to a world-class business and financial service center, its goal
is to become the Switzerland of the Far East
For Buyers: Singapore remains a center for labor-intensive
industries such as apparel and textiles, but is rapidly finding a niche in
engineering-intensive areas such as electronic components, pharmaceuticals, and specialty
chemicals.
For Sellers: Singapore's renewed focus on high-value-added
manufacturing and its constant upgrading of facilities and infrastructure puts it in the market for a
wide range of materials, equipment, and expertise from abroad. Singapore's high per capita
income (the third hightest in Asia) is also fueling domestic demand for imported consumer goods.
For Investors: Singapore's investment cllimate is excellent. Its authoritarian,
but unswervingly free-market government welcomes foreign investment and offers incentives for
new ventures that bring in advanced technology and training for its people.
Singapore Business: The Portable Encyclopedia for Doing Business with Singapore provides the know-how to
discover and take advantage of opportunities in Singapore. Whether you are importing, exporting, or
investing, you will find a wealth of detailed information that will keep you ahead of the
competition.
