Follow on Google News | Doing Business in SingaporeHighlights some key findings from the latest edition of the World Banks Doing Business 2010 Survey.
By: Healy Consultants Despite some limitations resulting from some aspects not being studied, the World Bank has maintained that a high ranking indicates a government has created a regulatory environment conducive to operating a business. Between June 2008 and May this year, the World Bank recorded 287 business reforms in 131 economies, an increase of 20% from the previous year. Singapore, in particular, introduced reforms to make it easier to start and operate a business whilst improving banking and permit attainment procedures. Through increased internet utilization, Singapore cut the time it takes to issue a construction permit from 102 days to just 38 days, according to a briefing on the Doing Business survey by Penelope Brooke, the Director of the Indicators and Analysis in the World Bank Group’s Financial and Private Sector Presidency department. Furthermore, Ms. Brooke noted that the simplification of the online process for business start-up reduced the process to 4 days. In another survey conducted by Business Environment Risk Intelligence, Singapore was ranked 2nd as the city with the best investment potential, a position the city has maintained for 14 years now. Reaffirming its economic performance, Singapore was ranked as the number one world leader in foreign trade and investment, according the Globalization Index. Starting a company in Singapore is, if properly-structured, an attractive, tax-efficient corporate structure to conduct international business.
