Singapore is an island nation located in Southeast Asia. Known officially as the Republic of Singapore, the nation lies just north of the equator at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. Singapore has one main island, as well as 62 islets. The government of the country is a unitary dominant-party parliamentary republic. Singapore has a population of approximately 5,600,000 and covers a land area of 278 square miles. The nation’s primary languages are English, Mandarin, Tamil and Malay.

The official currency of the country is the Singapore Dollar. Like numerous other global currencies, the Singapore Dollar can be subdivided into 100 smaller units of currency called cents. The currency is one of the most widely traded global currencies by volume. The Singapore Dollar is good, legal tender throughout the country, and is also accepted as tender in Brunei. The Brunei Dollar can be used both in Brunei as well as Singapore. The currency has been allowed to float since the mid 80s, but it is managed and can only float within a specified bandwidth of a central parity.

The Singapore Dollar is issued and managed by the nation’s central bank, known as the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The nation’s central bank was established in 1971, and in addition to currency management is also tasked with oversight of the nation’s financial system including banking, insurance and securities.
