Singapore has registered a remarkable economic growth during the last decade and is classified as a high income economy. The country’s economy is expected to reach $342 billion by 2018. Singapore’s economic growth is primarily driven by domestic and external demand, private consumption expenditure, and investments. The country’s major sectors such as petroleum refining and pharmaceutical industry have the potential to attract investments from other countries across the globe.
