Why Singapore and Tokyo? 

Singapore and Tokyo have earned their positions as two of the most significant financial hubs in the world. Singapore boasts a stable economy, a global banking presence, and a pro-fintech regulatory environment that fosters innovation. Tokyo, with its prominent Tokyo Stock Exchange and numerous multinational corporations, serves as a key center for global finance and trade.
