The regions with advantages in entrepot trade are mainly concentrated in areas that are transportation hubs, economically developed, and have preferential policies. For example, Hong Kong has a superior geographical location, is an important global shipping center, has complete infrastructure and a financial system, convenient trade financing, and also has a highly free trade policy with no foreign exchange control. Singapore also has significant advantages. It guards the Strait of Malacca, is an international shipping and financial center, has preferential tax policies, and complete trade regulations. In addition, Dubai, its superior geographical location as a bridge connecting Asia, Africa, and Europe, has numerous free trade areas, low tariffs, and simple trade procedures. These regions provide strong support for entrepot trade in terms of logistics, finance, and policies.
