Singapore snags ‘most ideal country for FX traders’ title

The Lion City recorded a forex suitability score of 8.07 out of 10.

Singapore has outranked Japan and China in the City Index’s list of most ideal markets for forex traders.

According to City Index, Singapore’s high turnover of over-the-counter (OTC) foreign exchange instruments ($929b) has pushed the market to the top of the list.

Singapore’s record is six times higher than China’s record of $153b. China ranked second on the list.

City Index also reported that Singapore has the fastest average broadband speed of all countries analysed at 233.455 Mbps.

“In the fast-paced forex market, even a few seconds can make a significant difference in trade outcomes, so a reliable and speedy internet connection is crucial. Fast broadband is key for forex traders as it allows for faster trade execution, minimises the risk of connection drops or disruptions and allows for multi-platform trading across several devices,” Fawad Razaqzada, forex trading expert from City Index, commented.

Overall, the Lion City received a Forex suitability score of 8.07 out of 10.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
