can look at the current macro economic environment and then look at the history of the country and how this may have helped the country develop the economic competences and
knowledge to develop and retain such as strong economy. All $ figures quoted are Singapore dollars unless otherwise specified. The GDP is one that is growing, in 2003
the GDP was $159,135.0 million, this was an increase of 1.1% on the 2002 figure which was $158,064.1 million. We can put this into historical context as the GDP has

and in 2003 it was $164,265.9 million (Anonymous, 2003). Macroeconomic performance is more than simply the GDP, although this is a good indicator.
