Over the past few years, the world's financial media have observed and commented on a gradual shift in the global economic centre of gravity from West to East. "This shift is reflected in our customers' activity," says Alain Raes, Chief Executive, Asia-Pacific & EMEA, Swift. "The region is increasingly important to Swift and its community."

Forty years ago, Swift went live in Singapore. Since then, we have continued to be a trusted partner for the Singapore and global financial communities, as we work to continuously drive innovation that helps our users move value securely, reliably and seamlessly across borders around the world. We recognise that none of this would have been possible without the strong support of our community in Singapore.
