One of our main priorities for this year is to develop an enhanced and sophisticated technical background, which is an absolute necessity for our growth.<\/p>\n
For that reason, we recently travelled to Singapore as this cosmopolitan city is a hub for many FinTech companies providing all sorts of technical solutions for the financial market participants.<\/p>\n
Singapore itself is characterized as a city where the third of the entire Forex volume is conducted, globally.<\/p>\n
Don’t perceive this as the city is filled by retail traders, not at all. The reason being is that a lot of major investment banks are headquartered there, owing to the fact that Singapore has a very favourable tax system and legal framework.<\/p>\n
Right upon touching down at Changi airport, you are exposed to hard facts of the city. The first one is that the cost of living is relatively high.<\/p>\n
Contrary, it appears that the city is flooded with money as the abundance of eccentric and extravagant buildings is overwhelming.<\/p>\n
Right at the airport (which, btw, places itself at a first spot in the ratings), there is a shopping mall called ‘Jewel’, out of which you can observe a 20m high waterfall lightened by various themes and being surrounded by grown trees.<\/p>\n
Last but not least, the city really is as clean as the saying goes. In Singapore, you can be fined quite a lot not only for littering but chewing a gum in public.<\/p>\n
Just as Sydney has it’s Opera House, Paris has it’s Eiffel Tower, Singapore also has a unique icon. It is a famous and world-known Marina Bay Sands hotel.<\/p>\n This was also a venue for the Trading Expo which was held little over a week ago.<\/p>\n This building really is amazing, just as the view from the top. The Singaporean financial district with its high skyscrapers is situated on one side of the bay, while the Marina Bay hotel faces them from the opposite side, offering overwhelming views.<\/p>\n On top of that, there is a daily light and music show and you can also sight the F1 circuit from the rooftop of the hotel. Anyways, the financial centre itself is not huge by area and one can easily stroll there on foot.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
