Economic Developments
  1. External
    1. Industrial Revolution (1750 - 1850)
      1. British were able to invent machines to produce more goods faster
        1. e.g. steamship - for transportation of goods without the need for monsoon winds - created demand for coal to keep engines running
          1. SG became one of the most impt coaling stations because steamships in Asia have to stop in SG to refuel - port-of-call
      2. Opening of Suez Canal
        1. shorter route to East - great saving in cost of fuel; shorter time
          1. more steamships used to carry cargoes between Europe and Asia
            1. 1873 - 1913: SG saw an 8-fold increase in volume of trade
        2. Internal
          1. Role of the Government: implementing Policies that Promoted Trade
            1. Free Port
              1. open to all traders - encouraged more trade in SG
              2. Free Trade
                1. no tariffs, quotas, or other restrictions
                2. Free Immigration
                  1. provided SG with financial and human capital needed - a place of opportunities to be successful
                  2. Development of port facilities (e.g. New Harbour)
                  3. Role of the People: Strengthening SG's capacity as a trading hub
