A Well-Connected Global Hub
As a small country with an open economy, connectivity has been core to Singapore’s competitiveness.
Enhancing our air, maritime and logistics connections
Today, we are one of the world’s busiest container ports and our aviation hub sees some of the highest passenger and cargo traffic numbers globally. We will build upon this solid foundation to ensure Singapore remains attractive as an economic and logistics centre.
Expanding aviation connections
Aviation is a cornerstone of our economy that links Singapore to the global economy. As the aviation industry recovers from the pandemic, we will ensure Changi Airport has sufficient capacity for the long term. It will also be integrated with industrial activities in Changi East to maximise synergies.
