AMONG 19 Asian economies, Singapore came in third this year in a race to trade in a sustainable manner.
This is a fall of two positions from 2016, when the Republic topped the Hinrich Foundation's index, which assesses economies on their environmental, social and economic performances. The fall came largely from the city-state doing less well in the environmental aspect, where it went from second spot to fourth overall.
