The Singapore Dollar Currency
The Singapore Dollar was first issued in the year 1965, immediately following the breakdown of the Monetary Union between Malaysia and Brunei. Ever since coming into force, it has remained interchangeable with the Brunei Dollar in both countries. Before being recognised officially as the SGD, Singaporean currency ranged from the Straits Dollar to the Malayan Dollar and the British Borneo Dollar.
In 1985, Singapore adopted a market system based on the currency exchange regime. Under this regime, the Singapore Dollar is controlled by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, which owns over US$270 billion. The Singapore Dollar of today is considered one of the most stable currencies in the world. Besides the standard currency, the Monetary Authority of Singapore also issues several limited-edition commemorative banknotes in denominations ranging from S$2 to S$50 to mark significant events in Singapore.
The free-market economy of Singapore works in an open and corruption-free environment by providing for stable prices and high per-capita GDP. Due to its favourable tax rates, skilled labour talent, and business-friendly environment, Singapore attracts many foreign investments.
