This book provides

an analysis of Singapore’s development and success as an international

financial centre (IFC). Chapters demonstrate how Singapore plays a critical

role in both Asian and global financial markets, despite its relatively small

geographic size. The author focuses specifically on the factors that have

contributed to the city-state’s success and discusses the policy lessons that

can be derived from it. The book describes the historical, spatial, political

and policy factors that contributed to Singapore’s development as a leading

Asian financial centre and global city, and will be of interest to both policy

scholars and practitioners.
