520			_aDigFin has regularly visited Singapore since the late 1990s, when it was stricken by the Asian financial crisis. Business was as lackluster as the nightlife. Singapore was asleep. Today the city seems bursting with energy and confidence, especially its fintech industry. It boasts over a thousand fintech startups under the protective wing of its powerful and progressive regulator, the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The West, in general, seems to be losing its grip: the fissures of COVID-19, Brexit, Trump, all are flashing distress signals. China, a behemoth and technological giant, often struggles to export its norms. Startups and tech companies are flocking to Singapore because things there, well, they just seem to work. And it is situated at the heart of Southeast Asia, with an alluring demographic profile and mobile-savvy populations.
