Singapore’s Country Rating 2007

Investment Grade

IN SINGAPORE, THE POLITICAL SITUATION REMAINS STABLE.

SINGAPORE BOASTS THE BEST GOVERNANCE IN ASIA, WITH AN EFFECTIVE LEGAL SYSTEM FACILITATING DEBT COLLECTION AND TO A HIGH DEGREE OF FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY.

EXTERNAL ACCOUNTS HAVE REMAINED SUBSTANTIALLY IN SURPLUS, CONTRIBUTED TO THE DYNAMISM OF THE ELECTRONICS AND PHARMACEUTICALS SECTORS AND TO REPATRIATION OF PROFITS FROM SINGAPORE INVESTMENTS. THE FINANCIAL AND TOURISM SECTORS HAVE ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO THE LARGE CURRENT ACCOUNT SURPLUS.

SINGAPORE CONTINUES TO KEENLY WELCOME FOREIGN INVESTMENT AND OFFERS A VERY OPEN AND WELL-PLANNED ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT. IT HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTING AMBITIOUS DIVERSIFICATION STRATEGY, FOCUSED PARTICULARLY ON THE CHEMICALS AND PHARMACEUTICAL SECTORS.

THE GOVERNMENT USES FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT TO DEVELOP PRIORITY SECTORS (ELECTRONICS, CHEMICALS, BIOTECHNOLOGY). THE AIM IS TO ENCOURAGE THE GROWTH OF HIGH ADDED-VALUE ACTIVITIES AND TURN SINGAPORE INTO A REGIONAL HUB FOR FOREIGN INVESTORS INTERESTED IN ASIA.

CERTAIN SECTORS (MEDIA, LEGAL AND FINANCIAL SERVICES) ARE HOWEVER ONLY PARTIALLY OPEN TO FOREIGN INVESTMENT. THESE SECTORS ARE SLOWLY OPENING UP, BUT THE PROGRESS IS SLOW.

AFTER HIGH GROWTH IN 2006, BUOYED BY THE DYNAMISM OF BOTH EXPORTS AND HOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTION, A SLOWDOWN IS EXPECTED IN 2007.

ASSETS

• MAJOR EXPORTER OF CAPITAL IN ASIA, NOTABLY VIA THE STATE-OWNED TEMASEK HOLDING COMPANY.
• HIGH QUALITY COMPETITIVENESS IN ASIA
• EXCELLENT BUSINESS CLIMATE
• POLITICAL STABILITY.

WEAKNESSES

• SKILLED MANPOWER HAS BEEN LACKING IN THE SECTORS TARGETED FOR DEVELOPMENT.
• AN AGEING POPULATION COULD, ULTIMATELY, AFFECT ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE.
• GROWING INEQUALITY AND THE EMERGENCE OF LONG-TERM UNEMPLOYMENT AMONG THE LEAST SKILLED COULD GENERATE SOCIAL TENSIONS.
• BEING THE WORLD’S MOST OPEN ECONOMY, IT HAS BEEN VULNERABLE TO WORLD ECONOMIC DOWNTURNS.

WHOLESALE AND RETAIL TRADE SECTOR

PAST PERFORMANCE

FOREIGN WHOLESALE TRADE INDEX

THE OVERALL FOREIGN WHOLESALE TRADE IN QUARTER 1 2007 FELL BY 7.6%. EXCLUDING PETROLEUM, FOREIGN SALES DECLINED BY 8.0%. MOST WHOLESALE SECTORS REPORTED LOWER OVERSEAS RECEIPTS IN QUARTER 1 2007 COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS QUARTER, EXCEPT HOUSEHOLD EQUIPMENT AND FURNITURE SECTOR. SHIP CHANDLERS & BUNKERING REPORTED THE LARGEST DECLINE OF 18.3% IN QUARTER 1 2007, FOLLOWED BY FOOD BEVERAGES & TOBACCO SECTOR OF 17.7%.

RETAIL TRADE

THE OVERALL RETAIL SALES ROSE MARGINALLY BY 0.7% IN QUARTER 2 2007, COMPARED TO QUARTER 2 2006. EXCLUDING MOTOR VEHICLES, RETAIL SALES ROSE BY 5.1%. SALES OF OPTICAL GOODS & BOOKS, FURNITURE & HOUSEHOLD EQUIPMENT AND SUPERMARKETS ENJOYED STRONG GROWTHS OVER A YEAR AGO. PROVISION & SUNDRY SHOPS, WATCHES AND JEWELLERY, DEPARTMENT STORES AND WEARING APPAREL & FOOTWEAR SECTORS ALSO REPORTED HIGHER SALES OF 4.35 TO 5.9% RESPECTIVELY.

HOWEVER, RETAILERS OF MOTOR VEHICLES, FOOD & BEVERAGES, TELECOMMUNICATIONS APPARATUS & COMPUTERS AND PETROL SERVICES STATIONS REPORTED LOWER SALES.

OUTLOOK

GENERALLY, WHOLESALERS EXPECT TO DO WELL FOR THE NEXT 6 MONTHS, WITH A POSITIVE NET WEIGHTED BALANCE OF 17%. DEALERS OF FOOD & BEVERAGES, TROPICAL PRODUCE, TEXTILES & LEATHER GOODS AND HOUSEHOLD ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE & EQUIPMENT ARE AMONG THOSE WHO ARE OPTIMISTIC.

RETAIL TRADE FIRMS ANTICIPATE BUSINESS TO BE LESS BRISK FOR THE NEXT 6 MONTHS. IN PARTICULAR, DEPARTMENT STORES, SUPERMARKETS AND RETAILERS OF MOTOR VEHICLES EXPECT SLOWER BUSINESS IN THE COMING MONTHS.
