Abstract

While Singapore is typically ranked behind Hong Kong in most IFC rankings, it is largely seen as a close competitor to the SAR and contender for top IFC in Asia. Its success has been driven by government interventions such as a favourable tax regime and robust legal–regulatory framework, as well as the active participation of industry and other non-state actors in financial policy-making. This chapter discusses Singapore’s development as an IFC by focusing on its determinants of comparative advantage, model of financial governance, regulatory regime, financial policy mix and financial policy subsystem.
