Singapore, UK urged to fully integrate into global economy to thrive

Singapore

THE world needs new rules and standards for the rapidly changing fields of finance, data and intellectual property, an initiative that would create platforms for countries such as Singapore and Britain to seize new opportunities.

The call came from Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing, who told the British Chamber of Commerce's business awards on Thursday: "Trade and finance are our lifelines and have been our lifeblood since time immemorial. The UK and Singapore would know it and appreciate it more than many others."
