Statistics of foreign affiliates in Singapore, also known as inward foreign affiliates statistics (or inward FATS), are compiled by the Singapore Department of Statistics (DOS) using data collected through enterprise surveys as well as administrative data. Foreign affiliates in Singapore refer to enterprises operating in Singapore with more than 50% equity owned by a single foreign investor.

 

Inward FATS provide an overview of the activities of foreign affiliates in Singapore through a range of indicators such as value added, number of enterprises, employment, exports and imports of goods and services.

 

Inward FATS are compiled based on the guidelines and recommendations set out in the United Nations Manual on Statistics of International Trade in Services 2010 (MSITS 2010).
