Singapore fourth in Financial Development Index

Guess which topped the index, overtaking the US and the UK.

A report by the Information Services Department of Hong Kong said, “Hong Kong has topped the World Economic Forum’s Financial Development Index for the first time, up from fourth in 2010.”

Singapore ranks fourth and Mainland China ranks 19th, according to the WEF Financial Development Index.

The study ranks 60 of the world’s leading financial systems and capital markets, analysing the drivers of financial system development that support economic growth.

According to the Hong Kong Information Services Department, the seven pillars assessed are institutional environment, business environment, financial stability, banking financial services, non-banking financial services, financial markets and financial access.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
