Its GDP has increased from a mere S$2 billion in 1960 to S$180 billion in 2004. Today, it has the world's busiest port, most efficient airport and a world-renowned airline. While leading in industries such as finance, oil refining, information technology and high-tech manufacturing, it is also positioning itself as a player in biotechnology.As a testament to its standing in the world today, Singapore was ranked as the third most competitive economy with population less than 20 million by the International Institute for Management Development (IMD) World Competitiveness Scoreboard 2005.
