Singapore's economy is a highly developed free-market system characterized by dirigisme, signifying that the state assumes a robust directive role in a capitalist market economy, rather than merely a regulatory, interventionist function. Numerous national state-owned enterprises play a vital part in Singapore's economy, reinforcing the nation's business-friendly reputation in conjunction with globally and locally owned private companies and public corporations.

Singapore's economic prosperity largely depends on its manufacturing and service sectors, and the nation is currently striving to expand its financial sector. Other primary industries bolstering Singapore's economy encompass banking, biotechnology, energy, and tourism.
