Singapore: A Safe Haven for Gold and Precious Metals?

The question of whether Singapore is a safe place to store gold and other precious metals can be clearly answered by looking at the city-state’s defense strategy. Beyond its role as a dynamic financial and trading hub that attracts large amounts of global wealth and oil tankers, Singapore is distinguished by an impressive and resilient military structure that makes it one of the safest countries in the world.

A Defense Strategy Second to None

Despite its small geographic size, Singapore has invested heavily in its defense. The city-state spends over 3% of its GDP on the military—a higher percentage than most of its neighbors in Southeast Asia. These considerable investments have resulted in one of the most modern and well-equipped armies per capita globally.

Its armed forces have advanced weapon systems, including fighter jets like the F-15SG and F-16, with the F-35 on the way. The navy is also equipped with high-tech warships and submarines. In addition, there is an active force of about 71,000 soldiers, supplemented by a reserve corps of over 350,000 reservists who come from mandatory national service.

To illustrate its military strength, Singapore, with a population of only 5.7 million people, owns 170 main battle tanks. This is almost as many as the German Armed Forces, a country with over 84 million inhabitants. The number of fighter jets is also comparable to that of the German Air Force. This impressive militarization has a clear goal: any potential aggressor, even a major power, should consider the enormously high costs of attacking Singapore and be deterred.

Total Defence and International Partnerships

Singapore’s security isn’t just based on military strength. The country pursues a comprehensive “Total Defence” concept that strengthens not only military but also civil, economic, and digital resilience.

At the same time, Singapore is not an isolated actor. It is closely integrated into international security networks. As part of the Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA), it collaborates with regional partners and maintains close military cooperation with the United States. The U.S. sees Singapore as a strategic partner and regularly conducts joint military exercises. A conflict between the two nations is therefore extremely unlikely; rather, Singapore is an ally that enjoys U.S. protection.

Conclusion

The combination of a powerful, modern army, a comprehensive defense concept, and strong international alliances makes Singapore one of the safest places to store valuables like gold. Investors can be confident that their assets are protected in a country that is neither an easy target nor a potential conflict zone for powers like the U.S.
