At the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) Mumbai launch, Singapore's senior Minister of State for Law and Education, Indranee Rajah, said that India’s growing economy would lead to more disputes which in turn would increase arbitration.
She added that Singapore had ‘made better efforts to develop Singapore as a venue for international arbitration.'
