Score Analysis
Analysis of Singapore's policy signalling profile
Singapore's overall policy signalling intensity is assessed at 50, placing it at the 85.5th percentile globally, with a global rank of 27 out of 186 countries. This score reflects Singapore's moderate approach to Western-style progressive policy signalling, as evidenced by its balanced dimension scores. The repeal of Section 377A, which decriminalized consensual sex between men, is a recent development that aligns with moderate progress in LGBTQ rights, although same-sex marriage remains unrecognized. Additionally, the regulatory environment in Singapore includes strict content control, which aligns with moderate intensity in content moderation practices.
Analyzing the dimension scores, Singapore shows the highest signalling intensity in the Speech & Expression Climate dimension with a score of 54.34, indicating a moderate level of openness in public discourse. However, the Institutional DEI Policy Intensity and Education & Curriculum Signalling dimensions are both below 50, suggesting limited institutional focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion policies. Corporate and investor signalling is relatively higher at 56.05, reflecting some degree of engagement in DEI initiatives within the business sector. The highest dimension score is in Legislative/Regulatory Activism at 63.39, pointing to a more active role in regulatory measures, which supports the overall assessment of moderate policy signalling intensity.
