Singapore Immigration insights on Singapore immigration life: According to a report by the Financial Times on June 17, Singapore has become the city that attracts the most foreign direct investment (FDI) in the world, ranking first among all global cities for greenfield investment in 2014. The investment amount received by this city-state is approximately 2.5 times that of its main rival, Hong Kong.
Since topping the global investment destination city rankings in 2013, Singapore has consolidated its lead over London and Shanghai. Relevant data shows that last year, 390 companies announced or launched a total of 409 greenfield projects in Singapore, with a total capital expenditure of approximately 11 billion USD.
Among the top 20 global FDI destination cities last year, emerging market cities accounted for nearly half. In addition to Singapore, Shanghai, and Hong Kong, Beijing, Bangalore, Dubai, São Paulo, Kuala Lumpur, and Mexico City were also included. Currently, there are no signs of any decline in Singapore's strength as an investment destination.
In related research, Singapore is ranked at the top of the "Global City of the Future" list due to its investment appeal.
