Large international financial institutions have established offices in Singapore, bringing valuable financial expertise to the country. Singapore's foreign exchange market is the fourth largest in the world, after London, New York and Tokyo, and the Singapore Exchange is considered the premier financial futures exchange in the Asia-Pacific region. Multinational corporations with operations in the area are encouraged to establish their regional treasury operations in Singapore to allow them to monitor their investments more closely and, thus, manage risks more effectively. Local and international institutions in Singapore provide a wide range of financial services, including trade financing, foreign exchange, derivative products, capital markets activities, loan syndication, underwriting, mergers and acquisitions, asset management, securities trading, financial advisory services and insurance services.

This is just a sample of what you'll find in the complete Singapore guide.
