Singapore a Prime Target for Banking & Finance Recruitment


SINGAPORE, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


    With the Asian banks in better shape than their Western counterparts,

Singapore continues to be one of the leading financial hot spots according to

Tessa Dickman, Manager of the new Huxley Associates office in Singapore.


    "Statistics from recent research by Pensions & Investments and Towers

Watson show 5 of the Top 10 countries in the sovereign funds rankings are

Asian countries," said Tessa. "The benchmark Singapore stock index has

climbed 29 percent in the past year, and Singapore's strengthening economy

has added to an Asian rebound that prompted central banks to raise interest

rates."


    "This is great news for businesses in the Far East and especially good

news for Huxley Associates. Huxley has seen placements of senior Banking &

Finance professionals increase by 43% in the last six months, and with our

Singapore office - the second Huxley office in the Asia-Pacific region -

we're primed and ready to meet the high demand for exceptional Banking &

Finance professionals in this territory."


    Singapore has long been a global financial capital and is on track to be

among the world's fastest-growing economies in 2010, after a surge in the

first two quarters prompted the Ministry of Trade and Industry government to

issue a new forecast of as much as 15 percent. The good news about Singapore

is further compounded by the current stability in global markets and the

historic agreement on new capital and liquidity rules for banks. With a

positive reception to Basel III across the APAC banking hubs, Huxley is

confident that it is well-placed to meet the recruitment requirements of its

Asia-Pacific clients. Supporting economic growth at both a global and local

level, Huxley has an extensive database of senior professionals who are based

in Asia, the UK, mainland Europe and the US.
