Orchard is one of Singapore's most iconic and affluent districts, playing a key role in the nation's economy through its vibrant retail and real estate sectors. Renowned as the heart of Singapore’s shopping scene, Orchard Road is a 2.2-kilometer stretch filled with upscale malls, luxury boutiques, and world-class hotels. Although the retail sector doesn’t contribute to Singapore’s GDP as directly as finance, Orchard's impact on the tourism and hospitality industries is significant. In 2022, retail trade in Singapore accounted for about 4% of the GDP, with a substantial portion of that activity centered around Orchard.
Marina Bay
Marina Bay stands as a prime example of Singapore’s futuristic vision and economic prosperity. One of the most expensive areas in the city, it plays a vital role in the nation’s GDP, particularly through its concentration of financial services, real estate, and tourism-related businesses. Located in the Central Region, it significantly contributes to Singapore's financial services sector, which accounts for approximately 13.3% of the national GDP. At the heart of this economic hub is the Marina Bay Sands resort. A luxury hotel, casino, and entertainment complex, Marina Bay Sands draws millions of visitors annually, making it a key driver of Singapore’s hospitality and entertainment industries.
Bukit Timah
Bukit Timah is one of Singapore’s most affluent residential districts, renowned for its expansive estates, upscale condominiums, and proximity to some of the country’s top schools and nature reserves. The area’s wealth is largely driven by its thriving real estate market. In terms of GDP contribution, Bukit Timah's influence stems from its significance in the real estate and education sectors. Singapore’s education sector is a key part of its knowledge-based economy, and Bukit Timah is home to prestigious institutions like Hwa Chong Institution. The district's wealth is also closely tied to its natural surroundings.
