SG becomes the leading wealth capital in APAC

Singapore attained an average score of 0.79.

According to Knight Frank's inaugural "Rise of the Super Wealth Hub" series, Singapore positions itself as the centre and leading wealth capital in APAC.

This assessment uses six comprehensive indicators that measure a country’s life, work, and play aspects. This includes urban prosperity, governance and talent, legal framework, enterprise excellence, lifestyle, and opulence.

All indicators are scaled from zero to one, with one representing the highest achievement and zero the lowest.

Singapore has attained an average score of 0.79, the highest in Asia-Pacific with individual ratings of 0.98 for legal framework, 0.97 for enterprise excellence, 0.91 for lifestyle, 0.75 for urban prosperity, and 0.69 for governance and talent.

However, Singapore’s score on the opulence aspect stands at 0.47 due to its small size, limiting the development of land-extensive recreational facilities.

The region's growing middle class and entrepreneurs are among the major contributors to the surge in wealth, with Singapore at the lead. Consequently, Singapore's real estate market received a boost and foreign investments increased by 47%.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
