Singapore is a leading financial and technology hub, a regional trading centre and home to one of the world’s busiest ports. As one of the largest foreign direct investment (FDI) destinations for Canadian companies in Southeast Asia, Singapore continues to be a crucial trade and investment partner for Canada in the Asia-Pacific region. It offers increasing potential for diverse trade and investment opportunities in all sectors and access to multiple trade agreements, including the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) that increase Singapore’s regional importance and relevance. The highly transparent and efficient legal and institutional framework offers ample protection for foreign investments. Singapore’s business-friendly environment is also sustained by a well-organized public service and pro-business government policies. Canadian companies looking to set up offices in this market should plan for the relatively high costs of operation in Singapore. Export Development Canada (EDC) serves Canadian companies in Singapore through its corporate branch, which opened in March 2017.
