Financial Center of Asia
Thanks to the government's policy of positioning the country as open to trade, attracting foreign direct investment, and welcoming overseas companies, Singapore has become one of the financial centers of Asia, where many multinational corporations have established their headquarters. As the fourth largest financial center in the world, Singapore boasts the largest foreign exchange center in the Asia-Pacific region and the third largest foreign exchange center after New York and London. With so many international accolades, it's no wonder this country is referred to as the financial center of Southeast Asia.
