Understanding Singapore's Currency Strength
The Singapore Dollar (SGD) is managed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) with a focus on long-term stability.
How MAS Manages the SGD
Unlike many central banks that use interest rates, MAS uses the exchange rate as its primary monetary policy tool:
- The SGD is managed against a trade-weighted basket of currencies
- This approach has helped maintain low inflation over decades
- Singapore's substantial foreign reserves support the currency
Key Currency Considerations
Important points for international investors to understand:
- Past currency performance does not guarantee future results
- Exchange rates can still fluctuate based on global conditions
- Currency diversification is just one part of a protection strategy
Singapore's Legal Framework for Wealth Protection
English Common Law
Singapore's legal system is based on English common law, providing a familiar and predictable framework for international investors. Property rights and contracts are well-protected.
Trust Act
Singapore's Trust Act provides a robust framework for setting up trusts with perpetual duration (no rule against perpetuities). Trusts can be used for asset protection and succession planning.
Data Protection
The Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) regulates the collection and use of personal data. Financial institutions must adhere to strict confidentiality requirements.
Compliance and Transparency
Singapore maintains high standards of financial compliance and transparency:
- Signatory to the Common Reporting Standard (CRS)
- Strong Anti-Money Laundering (AML) framework
- FATF-compliant counter-terrorism financing measures
- Regular regulatory reviews and updates
- Strict Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements
- Cooperation with international tax authorities

No Guarantee of Protection: While Singapore offers certain structural advantages, no jurisdiction can guarantee complete protection of assets. All strategies carry risks and limitations that should be carefully considered.
Currency Risk: Past currency performance is not indicative of future results. Exchange rates can fluctuate significantly based on global economic conditions, and currency diversification does not eliminate the risk of loss.

Regulatory Considerations: The availability of services depends on your country of residence and applicable regulations. It is your responsibility to ensure compliance with all relevant laws and reporting requirements.
Trust and Estate Planning: Trust structures involve complex legal considerations and may have different implications depending on your country of residence. Professional legal advice is essential.
CRS and Tax Reporting: Singapore participates in the Common Reporting Standard (CRS). Financial account information may be exchanged with your country of tax residence.
