[Singapore is not simply mainly based on entrepot trade. In the early days, Singapore, by virtue of its superior geographical location on the important shipping lane of the Strait of Malacca, vigorously developed entrepot trade, providing goods transshipment, storage and other services for passing ships, which indeed promoted the start of its economy. But with development, Singapore's economic structure has become increasingly diversified.
Nowadays, the financial services industry is one of its important pillars. Singapore is an important financial center in Asia, attracting numerous international financial institutions to set up their businesses here. The shipping industry is also extremely developed, with advanced port facilities and an efficient logistics system. In addition, the tourism industry has also created considerable income for Singapore. The image of a city garden and rich tourist attractions attract tourists from all over the world. In the manufacturing industry, there are also outstanding performances in fields such as electronics and chemicals. Although entrepot trade still exists, it is no longer the only force driving economic development.
