Singapore Chronicles: Finance

Singapore is one of the premier financial centres in the world. This book traces the
development of Singapore’s financial sector from its early supporting role in a
thriving British colonial trading outpost to its rapid expansion after the nation’s
Independence in 1965. It is the story of how policymakers here managed to
maintain a reputation for regulation and supervision of a high standard, and yet take
risks to innovate boldly and seize global opportunities when they arose.
