Finance jobs in Singapore ''beat Dubai and NY''

New research has revealed that Singapore is viewed as the most desirable global finance centre to be working in among banking employees.

Indeed, finance jobs in Singapore were found to be the most attractive positions available in the international financial services sector for 27 per cent of respondents to the survey.

This was ahead of the 22 per cent of bankers who chose London as their preferred location, while 20 per cent revealed they most wanted to work in Hong Kong, 19 per cent in New York and 13 per cent in Dubai.

Mark Cameron, revealed that the Asian economies of Hong Kong and Singapore boast attractive propositions because they are growing fast.

"Singapore and Hong Kong are thriving economies without the growing swell of anti-banker bias. The UK's super tax and EU bonus proposals have played into the hands of these low-tax jurisdictions," he added.

Jyoti Narasimhan, spokeswoman from IHS Global Insight, also recently praised the city state, calling it an "advanced" global trading centre.
