		Singapore is a major tourist destination; the balance of travel has recorded continuous surpluses over the past decade, though the share of this surplus in GDP decreased during the early 1990s.
		Singapore's trade also enjoyed robust growth; it was ranked as the 12th largest exporter and importer in 1994 by the WTO, from the 18th and 15th positions held respectively in 1990.

	Singapore privatization push expected (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong said recently that Singapore would have to work harder to dispel the notion among foreigners that its government-linked companies, known as GLCs, have a political agenda even though they are run strictly as commercial entities.
		The government-linked companies - which include companies such as Singapore Airlines Ltd. and Singapore Telecommunications Ltd. that are listed on the Stock Exchange of Singapore, as well as large unlisted companies - are a powerful force in the Singapore economy.
		Similarly, while Singapore Airlines was allowed by the New Zealand government to buy a 25 percent stake in Air New Zealand Ltd. last week, it was blocked from taking the 40 percent holding it wanted, partly because of political opposition to foreign government control.
