Many of
the world's largest cities are also global economic hubs for their countries
and the rest of the world. The most prominent that come to mind are London, New York, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Seoul. But there are a
lot of other cities that are quickly becoming economic superpowers on their
own. That or they have long been influential economic cities in their own
right, they just didn't get the attention other large economic centers enjoy.
One of
those powerful economic cities has long been Singapore. Located in an excellent
spot in southeast Asia for air and sea transportation, the city and its
government for decades have been creating policies that improve the economic
status of their capital. For Sukamto Sia, Singapore
became his home city even though he was born in Indonesia. He became a naturalized
Singaporean not long after realizing the opportunities in the great city of Singapore.
In recent
years, much of the economic news that Sukamto Sia has been reading concerns
downturns in the global economy. Many of the traditional hubs of global
economic power and their home countries are struggling with debt and other
problems brought about by the global recession. Sukamto Sia is pleased to see
that Singapore
has weathered that storm and has a booming economy.
For quite
a few of the last few years, Singapore
has had the highest rate of economic growth in all of Asia.
This is impressive considering the growth that super economies like China and India used to have. In recent years
it has had growth between 5-10% and this is definitely a good sign for Sukamto
Sia as he has many business ventures in the city.
