Uncover this country’s risk factors
clear, practical insight into jurisdictional financial crime risk delivered in a single, powerful snapshot.
Singapore operates as a highly developed free-market economy, heavily integrated into global trade networks. In 2024, its nominal GDP reached approximately $547 billion USD and GDP per capita stood at over $90,000 USD, one of the highest globally (World Bank, 2024). The state plays an active economic role, supported by sovereign wealth funds, while simultaneously maintaining high levels of market openness and foreign investment. In 2024, Singapore had $192 billion of foreign direct investment inflows, and ranked among the world’s most businessfriendly economies (Department of Statistics Singapore 2024). Trade regularly accounts for over 300% of GDP, with key partners including China, Malaysia, the EU, the US, and Indonesia.
Singapore is an advanced economy, anchored in services and advanced manufacturing. Services contribute 73% of GDP, while manufacturing — particularly in semiconductors, petrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals — currently contributes 16% of GDP. The financial sector, underpinned by bank secrecy and tax competitiveness, plays a critical role in global asset management, private banking, and fintech. Singapore is among the most competitive financial centres in the world, and is also a major host of crypto funds.

Go further with a bespoke Country Risk Report
While our briefings offer a concise and practical view of financial crime risk, some clients need a deeper dive. That’s where our bespoke Country Risk Reports come in. Tailored to your organisation’s footprint, client base, and compliance requirements, these extended reports can provide:
Comprehensive jurisdictional threat overview
In-depth assessment of financial crime typologies such as money laundering, fraud, terrorist financing, tax crime and more.
Detailed sectoral risk analysis
Sector-by-sector evaluation of risk exposure, with the option to zoom in on specific industries (e.g. crypto, real estate, the precious metals sector, legal and other professional business services).

Customised watchpoints and recommendations
Forward-looking insights and actionable advice tailored to your business model, client profile, or regional footprint.
In cases where jurisdictional opacity, political risk, or limited public reporting present challenges, we can also integrate discreet in-country source enquiries. These confidential human intelligence inputs offer grounded, localised insight, capturing behaviours and red flags that may not appear in official data or regulatory reporting.
As part of any bespoke commission, we can also provide tailored executive briefings, presenting findings to your senior leadership, risk committee, or investment committee, and helping embed key insights into your strategic decision-making. Â
Whether you operate in high-risk markets, are looking to expand your business, are preparing for regulatory scrutiny, or simply want a sharper understanding of the risks that matter most to you, we’re here to help. |

Go further with a bespoke Country Risk Report
While our briefings offer a concise and practical view of financial crime risk, some clients need a deeper dive. That’s where our bespoke Country Risk Reports come in. Tailored to your organisation’s footprint, client base, and compliance requirements, these extended reports can provide:
- **Comprehensive jurisdictional threat overview**
In-depth assessment of financial crime typologies such as money laundering, fraud, terrorist financing, tax crime and more.
- **Detailed sectoral risk analysis**
Sector-by-sector evaluation of risk exposure, with the option to zoom in on specific industries (e.g. crypto, real estate, the precious metals sector, legal and other professional business services).
- **Typology deep dives and red flags**
Detailed analysis of real-world typologies, high-risk behaviours and jurisdiction-specific red flags.
- **Customised watchpoints and recommendations**
Forward-looking insights and actionable advice tailored to your business model, client profile, or regional footprint.
In cases where jurisdictional opacity, political risk, or limited public reporting present challenges, we can also integrate discreet in-country source enquiries. These confidential human intelligence inputs offer grounded, localised insight, capturing behaviours and red flags that may not appear in official data or regulatory reporting.
As part of any bespoke commission, we can also provide tailored executive briefings, presenting findings to your senior leadership, risk committee, or investment committee, and helping embed key insights into your strategic decision-making.
Whether you operate in high-risk markets, are looking to expand your business, are preparing for regulatory scrutiny, or simply want a sharper understanding of the risks that matter most to you, we’re here to help.
