Singapore climbed to eighth place in Kearney’s 2026 FDI Confidence Index, up from 15th a year earlier, as investors increasingly favoured innovation-led and geopolitically neutral markets. Kearney said the city-state recorded its highest ranking since 2012, with its rise reflecting growing appeal for so-called middle powers in a more fragmented global environment. The firm said Singapore’s general neutrality amid rising geopolitical turbulence was a key attraction for foreign investors. Chinese companies were a major part of that shift. Kearney said Chinese firms are increasingly setting up international headquarters in Singapore to mitigate geopolitical risk, and that China’s investments accounted for about 50% of Singapore’s total business expenditure in 2025, up from 15% in 2024.
