Why Singapore Is the Easiest Place to Do Business in Southeast Asia: The Advantage of Low Corruption<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many Japanese companies based in Singapore say the same thing: \u201cBusiness here is transparent, straightforward, and pleasant.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When considering expansion into Southeast Asia, one of the first concerns for many Japanese companies is the risk of corruption and bribery. Business permits, customs clearance, government procedures\u2014companies may wonder whether they will be expected to offer something unofficial to a local official. For many years, this has been seen as a common concern when doing business in Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Singapore, however, that assumption generally does not apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • The Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) has strong powers to investigate corruption.\n\n\n\n\nPublic-sector salaries are set at competitive levels to reduce the incentive to accept bribes.\n\n\n\n\nCorruption offenses carry severe penalties, including imprisonment and substantial fines.\n\nPoliticians and senior public officials are also subject to investigation. Over more than 50 years, this system has helped establish a strong culture of integrity throughout Singaporean society.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
