Singapore cements its third spot as top global financial powerhouse

But Hong Kong is quickly catching up.

The city-state has solidified its position as a global financial center, maintaining a lead against its rival Hong Kong in a recent study.

According to the latest Global Financial Centers Index Measure, Singapore has cemented its third position behind London and New York as top financial centers.

The index ranks financial centers by drawing on two separate sources of data including instrumental factors and responses to an online survey.

Under the instrumental factors, Singapore ranked 3rd in three of the sub-indices. It outpaced Hong Kong in business environment, financial sector development, and reputation.

However, the rival beat the city-state in infrastructure and human capital sub-indices.

Ironically, the two are among those which posted modest declines in the Asia Pacific region. Overall, the region saw healthy increases from several countries including Tokyo, Shanghai, Osaka and Taipei.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
