Overview of the Singapore economy
Singapore, one of the smallest nations in Asia, went through a period of fast industrialization. It maintained an extraordinarily high development rate during the 1960s and the 1990s, earning it the reputation of being one of Asia’s Four Little Dragons. The economy of Singapore is highly developed, prosperous, and free market based. It has an open atmosphere devoid of corruption, relatively stable prices, and a per capita GDP more significant than most industrialized nations. In addition to this, the unemployment rate is low.
