ABSTRACT A strong reciprocal relationship has existed between Singapore Company Law (SCL) and the economy since Independence in 1965. Swift Parliamentary responses to economic events and successful implementation of Government policies has made it possible to clearly attribute cause and effect to statutory amendments and economic events in turn, proving the reciprocal relationship between the two. The first theme of this article seeks to explain the fundamental characteristics of SCL that have resulted in such an unusually strong reciprocal relationship: (1) Autochthonous nature of SCL; (2) Responsive nature of legislation; and (3) Government control at multiple levels of implementation. The second theme examines the interplay between: (1) Domestic political and economic events; and (2) Foreign laws and economic events in influencing legislative responses over time and their impact on SCL. This will be done through an examination of four key areas of SCL over 50 years of Singapore economic history.

新加坡公司法与经济：50 年来的相互影响

摘要自 1965 年独立以来，新加坡公司法 (SCL) 与经济之间一直存在着强大的互惠关系。议会对经济事件的迅速反应和政府政策的成功实施使得明确将因果关系归因于法定修正案和经济事件成为可能反过来，证明了两者之间的相互关系。本文的第一个主题试图解释导致这种异常强烈的相互关系的 SCL 的基本特征： (1) SCL 的本土性；(2) 立法的响应性；(3) 多层次实施的政府控制。第二个主题考察以下之间的相互作用：（1）国内政治和经济事件；(2) 随着时间的推移影响立法反应的外国法律和经济事件及其对 SCL 的影响。这将通过审查新加坡 50 年经济历史中 SCL 的四个关键领域来完成。
