Singapore has the most women CEOs in the world: Deloitte Global

Of the CEOs in Singapore, 13.1% are females.

Singapore took the lead globally with 13.1% of CEO roles in the country being held by women.

Region-wide, a 2.7% increase from 2018 was also seen and is consistent with the 2.8% increase globally.

In terms of women in board seats, Singapore also led the region with a 3.9% increase. The Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia follow, with percentages of 3.8%, 3.6%, and 3.4%, respectively.

According to a study conducted by Deloitte Global with The 30% Club, the value is a 3.2% change from the previous study held in 2018.

However, the average tenure for women in the Lion City took a hit from five years to four-point-four years.

Following behind Singapore are Sweden and Thailand, with percentages of 12.4% and 11.6%, respectively.

“2022 could be a year of opportunity for the appointment of more women on boards as companies re-evaluate the needs of their board in a post-pandemic business climate,” commented Seah Gek Choo, Center for Corporate Governance Leader, Deloitte Southeast Asia.

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.
