Singapore is a pioneer in bilateral free trade agreements (FTAs) in East Asia as then known in the 1990s. Most of its FTAs or regional trade agreements (RTAs) are in fact, cross-regional free trade agreements (CRTAs) as defined in this book’s framework chapter. Small, open and resource-deficient, Singapore is aware of the momentum of the tandem processes of political regionalism and economic regionalization and therefore uses these CRTAs to accomplish the following objectives: open specific sectors with distinct comparative advantages, change the terms of bilateral trade, and/or facilitate business visas which are not easy to procure on the WTO/ GATS track.
