SINGAPORE: Local companies will now be able to connect better with other businesses in the region to work on Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) projects in Singapore, China and other countries through a BRI Connect Platform launched on Aug 15, 2017. | |
Instead of looking at the BRI as just a source of competition, Singapore companies should look at how to make themselves relevant so as to seize the opportunities arising from it. We are in a very good position to tap into this growth, given our longstanding and large bilateral trade and investment volumes with China, as well as our three decades of official, business and people exchanges. | |

CHINA’S current mega belt-road projects in Malaysia, once completed, will alter trade routes in the region and this may divert hundreds of billions worth of trade from Singapore, according to industry players.
Cargoes and goods within the region heading for China or vice versa could bypass the Port of Singapore, when China-funded ports and East Coast Rail Line (ECRL) in Peninsular Malaysia are completed within five to 10 years.

In a bid to capture infrastructure opportunities in China’s “One Belt, One Road” (OBOR), International Enterprise Singapore (IE Singapore) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the local branch of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC). As part of the MOU, ICBC will establish a Singapore team providing financing services and project structuring to support Singaporean enterprises, with the turnaround time on processing of loans expected to be shortened.

In 2015, Singapore exported US$61.3 million worth of goods and services to Central Asia, while importing US$6.1 million, representing 0.015 percent of Singapore’s total exports and 0.002 percent of total imports; and 0.07 percent of Central Asia’s total exports and 0.009 percent of total imports. While Singapore is a global trading and investment powerhouse, business experience and exposure in Central Asia has never been strong. In 2014, only 32 enterprises in Uzbekistan operated with Singaporean capital, and Singapore contributed only US$50 million of direct investment to Kazakhstan over the last ten years in contrast to US$604 billion of total foreign direct investment in 2014 alone. Central Asia is not directly connected to Singapore, and land routes to ports in the region are scant. However, as the One Road-One Belt Initiative links Central Asia to China’s eastern seaboard, Gwadar port and even the impending sanction-free Iran; inter-regional trade is awash with new connections and opportunities. |
