How can foreigner open bank account in Singapore in 2020? Part I - 18.03.2020After a year, we are writing again on the matter of opening bank accounts in Singapore banks for foreign citizens who don’t live in Singapore.
As we noted in the previous article, Singapore remains one of the few places on the planet of Earth that maintains reliability and stability of its banking system amid growing uncertainty and fears of a new global financial crisis.

Better than Real Estate - 30.08.2019Real estate is a well spoken of class of assets because: it is an asset that generates regular rental income; in addition, there is a chance that over time the market price of the object will increase; real estate allows investors to survive difficult times as it eventually retains the real value of money after long periods of inflation and economic downturn.

How investors can earn during financial crises - 02.07.2019Nobody hopes for financial crises. It is difficult to find people who are pleased by hearing about falling quotes and bankruptcies, let alone seeing the value of their assets shrink on their broker’s reports before their very own eyes.
However, the most unpleasant consequence of financial crises is the uncertainty they generate. First, they always begin unexpectedly and it is never known how long they will last.
SINGAPORE: FROM PYGMY TO TITAN IN 200 YEARS - 15.06.2019It is hard to believe but there was a time when beautiful city-state-island-garden-playground Singapore wasn’t existing.
