| Summary: | From humble beginnings in entrepot trade, Singapore has grown into a
celebrated business and financial hub; offering a host of activities in
international trade and business.
Singapore's success was by no means an accident but one which was
brought about by the effective leadership of the government who have steered
the economy towards the areas of growth. All these would not have been
made possible without the efforts of a cohesive, well-trained and productive
Iabour force.
With regards to the banking and financial sector, it is the aim of the
government to nurture and promote the region into a one-stop-full-service
financial centre.
An Institute of Banking and Finance (IBF) in the third quarter of 1993
identified the three latest growth areas over 1992-1993 period as
forex/treasury, futures/options and investment management. On a more
recent note, an assessment made in early January 1994 by the Association of
Banks of Singapore (ABS) that the banking and financial sector will be
expecting another bumper year ahead, riding on the back of a prosperous
Singapore economy. Consequently, with the economic and telecommunication infrastructure
in place, a stable political climate and a strong and resilient economy, a pool
of well educated and trained professional expertise would be a valuable edge
to the achievement of this mission. |
