Singapore Launches Gold Vaulting Service to Boost Global Bullion Trade
Singapore is launching a new gold vaulting service with a 500-tonne storage capacity aimed at foreign central banks and financial institutions. This initiative, supported by tax incentives and plans for an over-the-counter gold clearing system by 2027, seeks to strengthen Singapore's role as a global precious metals trading hub. The move responds to growing demand for gold reserves and positions Singapore as a competitor to established centers like London and New York.
