About two thirds of the cross border M A purchases by Singaporean companies in 1995 2004 were in Asia.

The negative growth was also attributed to repayments of intra company loans by foreign subsidiaries and or reduction in the equity of foreign subsidiaries controlled by Singaporean TNCs.

Panellists debated the impact of incentives on the decision by transnational corporations to move services abroad.

However, it is usually the poorer developing countries that are least preferred by TNCs.

It also indicated the increasing preference of leading SINTNCs to grow through acquisitions rather than new subsidiaries abroad.

In all of these areas, the TPP and TTIP seem to be about corporate capture, not liberalism.

The industrial concentration of cross border M A purchases reflects the competitiveness of Singaporean companies in these industries and the increasing preference of Singapore companies for M As as a mode of entry into internationalization.

Another issue that was raised concerned the effects of TNC operations on the local market structure and the need to safeguard against the crowding out of local companies, products and customs.

Some two thirds of SINTNCs in the survey agreed that OFDI had increased their companies' competitive advantages.

Some leading TNCs from different sectors have therefore made a commitment to make CR a strategic concern in their worldwide operations.

In the interaction of TNCs with other players, the main question is how developing countries can get more actively involved in the process of global knowledge generation and diffusion by leveraging the activities of TNCs in a way that complements domestic efforts.

The report does not provide any proposals for addressing the problems arising from the export of polluting technologies from developed to developing countries, the conduct of transnational companies and the issue of corporate responsibility and accountability.
