Economic relations

The bilateral trade between Singapore and Saudi Arabia was determined to worth S$23 billion in 2013 [3] Much of this was due to oil, which is the major import into Singapore. Non-oil industrial Saudi companies exports their products which include crude oil, petrochemicals and plastics, aluminum, minerals, electrical appliances, materials of construction. Some Saudi companies also base their operations in Singapore, looking mostly to capitalize on the country's strategic position within the Strait of Malacca which is the heart of the Asia-Pacific market.
