 
Best place to do business
Singapore is a dynamic Asian city with a truly global outlook. It boasts an excellent economic, telecommunication and transport infrastructure, stable government, established judicial system and good corporate governance practices.
Strategically located at one of the crossroads of the world, Singapore serves as an important gateway for global investors to the major markets. Companies based in Singapore enjoy preferential access to international markets through the country's most extensive network of free trade agreements in Asia.
As the third largest financial centre in Asia, Singapore has highly regarded banking laws and supervisory practices. More importantly, it has a pro-business environment which makes it conducive for corporations to do business in Singapore. Apart from its extensive network of 74 double taxation agreements, Singapore also has one of the lowest corporate tax rates in the world with an attractive host of tax schemes and incentives to encourage business growth.
All these factors, together with a motivated English-speaking workforce that is highly literate and skilled, have contributed to its consistent ranking as the world's easiest place to do business*.
