ANBOUND economists discussed that global geopolitical changes cannot be ignored. Singapore's biggest advantage is that it is far away from the frontier "battlefield" of the geopolitical game between major powers. It has maintained its own security and openness in such turbulent times and has greater stability as expected by the market. If the geopolitical game in the world remains intense, Singapore's comparative advantage would continue to be prominent for a long time to come, and more likely be ahead of Hong Kong in the future.

Nonetheless, as an emerging market country, Malaysia’s economic prospects and prosperity are worth anticipating, despite a number of development challenges. Click
