Singapore Retains Third Place in Global FX Trading, Strengthening Its Role as Asia’s Financial Hub

Singapore, October 1, 2025 — The latest data from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) shows that Singapore has further strengthened its position in the global foreign exchange (FX) market. In April 2025, the city-state recorded an average daily FX trading volume of USD 1.485 trillion, an increase of more than 60% from USD 929 billion in April 2022. This achievement underscores Singapore’s role as a leading financial hub in Asia and a vital gateway for global capital flows.

Experts point out that the sustained growth of FX trading in Singapore is supported by its sound regulatory framework, efficient market infrastructure, and strategic geographic location. At the same time, trading volumes in the Chinese yuan have continued to rise in Singapore, highlighting the city’s increasingly critical role in the internationalization of the currency. Industry observers widely agree that Singapore’s stability, transparency, and open business environment provide global enterprises and investors with a key platform to access Asian markets.

Against this positive backdrop, more companies are accelerating their choice of Singapore as a regional headquarters or a springboard for overseas expansion. By leveraging Singapore’s financial and policy advantages, businesses are able to expand operations and manage capital flows more efficiently on a global scale.

As Singapore continues to consolidate its position as an international financial hub, the importance of integrated corporate services has become more evident. Fozilin, with its expertise in cross-border payments and FX settlement, offers a comprehensive suite of one-stop services including company incorporation, corporate secretarial support, and auditing. By combining Singapore’s global financial advantages with its own professional service capabilities, Fozilin provides enterprises with secure, compliant, and efficient solutions — enabling them to seize opportunities in global capital flows and business expansion across regional and international markets.
