Why do such wealthy businessmen and investors like to open family offices in Singapore? Let's take a look together.
Singapore's economic freedom index ranks first in the world. As a sustainable development region in Southeast Asia and a breakthrough point in the Asia-Pacific market, Singapore has attracted many multinational companies to settle in with its relatively stable economic growth rate, preferential tax policies and excellent talents for many years.
