According to the Information Society Readiness Index 2020 report, it ranks 3rd among 134 countries. According to the Ease of Doing Business Index 2020 report, it ranks 2nd. It is ranked 5th according to the Global Financial Centers Index. In this study, what are the main factors that play a role in Singapore's success in international indices will be revealed.
