Overseas workers account for 50% of the total population. It is the second most densely populated nation worldwide, after Monaco.
The country boasts one of the globe’s highest standards of living. Its currency is Singapore dollar.
Economic structure
The country has a highly developed successful free market economy. It has stable prices with inflation at 4.6% in 2012. It relies heavily on exports of consumer electronics, IT products, pharmaceuticals, and also on a strong financial sector.

With the global financial crisis of 2009 it suffered badly and only grew by 0.8% but then rebounded in 2010 with a staggering growth of 14.8% - third in the world after Qatar and Paraguay. This slowed in 2011 to 5.2% and 1.3% in 2012 with demand for export products dwindling during the Euro crisis. The GDP was valued at USD 251.5 billion in 2012. 26.8% was generated by industry and 73.2% by the service centre. Unemployment stood at 1.9% in 2012.
