Singapore punches above its weight on the Southeast Asia 500, capturing a third of total revenue

Singapore has just 82 companies on the Fortune Southeast Asia 500 (4th by count) but punches well above its weight—its firms generated $657.6 billion, or 35% of the region’s $1.88 trillion revenue.
Half of the top 10 companies are headquartered in Singapore, led by commodity giant Trafigura at No. 1 ($240.3B); other big names include Wilmar, Olam, DBS, Flex and Sea.
Singaporean firms also lead on profits ($43B versus Indonesia’s $26.9B), with major players like DBS, OCBC, UOB and Singtel among the region’s highest earners.
