THE BANKING TROIKA

Nandini Vijayaraghavan and Umesh Desai

Chapter 8 in The Singapore Blue Chips:The Rewards & Risks of Investing in Singapore's Largest Corporates, 2017, pp 57-79 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: Thus was born the then seemingly improbable idea to leverage on the recently independent and struggling city state of Singapore’s location and transform it into one of the leading global financial centres within a decade. By 2014, finance and insurance together accounted for 11.80% of Singapore’s SGD390 billion GDP. Financial inclusion achieved by Singapore is among the highest in the world with 98% of the population having a bank account with a formal financial institution.
