Singapore sees $197b FDI inflow in 2025

The largest contributors were the US, the Netherlands, Ireland, Mainland China, and the UK.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into Singapore rose to $197b in 2025, an increase of 8.4% compared with the previous year.

Data from SingStat show that the increase was mainly driven by higher equity capital inflows, which made up most of the total FDI received during the year.

By source, the largest contributors were the United States of America (USA), the Netherlands, Ireland, Mainland China, and the United Kingdom (UK).

Together, these five economies accounted for 46.8% of total inflows.

Sector-wise, finance and insurance dominated, receiving 63.9% of all FDI.

Other major recipients included professional and administrative support services, wholesale and retail trade, manufacturing, and information and communications.

Combined, the top five industries represented 96.2% of total FDI inflows.

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.
