Why has Singapore's entrepot trade developed so remarkably?
I'm quite interested in international trade and have found that Singapore's entrepot trade is well - known globally. I would like to understand why Singapore's entrepot trade is so good. Is it because of its superior geographical location, or are there other special policy supports? Or is it due to its sound financial system? I hope to get a professional answer to have a more comprehensive understanding of the reasons for the good development of Singapore's entrepot trade.

Secondly, Singapore has advanced and efficient port facilities and a mature logistics system, which can quickly handle a large amount of goods and improve the cargo turnover efficiency. Thirdly, the Singaporean government has implemented a series of policies conducive to entrepot trade, such as low - tariff or even zero - tariff policies, attracting a large number of goods to transit here. In addition, its financial system is sound, which can provide convenient financing, settlement, and other services for trade, reducing trade costs.
