Singapore’s Country Rating 2006

Investment Grade

IN SINGAPORE, THE POLITICAL SITUATION APPEARS TO BE VERY STABLE.

ECONOMIC GROWTH IS BECOMING MORE MODERATE AS INVESTMENT HAS BEEN FLAT DUE TO INCREASING OIL PRICES AND LESS BUOYANT DEMAND FOR ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS.

ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE HAS REMAINED STRONG, UNDERPINNED BY PHARMACEUTICALS AND SERVICES. EXPORTS HAS BENEFITED FROM THE STEADINESS OF DEMAND FROM ITS MAIN TRADING PARTNERS, MALAYSIA, THE UNITED STATES, CHINA AND HONG KONG. OTHER THAN ITS BALANCED PUBLIC SECTOR ACCOUNTS, LIMITED FOREIGN DEBT AND COMFORTABLE FOREIGN CURRENCY RESERVES HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO SINGAPORE’S STRONG FINANCIAL CONDITION.

AS THE ELECTRONICS SECTOR FACES COMPETITION FROM THE ASIAN ECONOMIES, SINGAPORE HAS BEEN PURSUING DIVERSIFICATION STRATEGY THAT HAS BEEN CONSOLIDATING ITS POSITION. PHARMACEUTICALS ALREADY REPRESENT 10% OF EXPORTS IN COMPARATIVE TO ITS INSIGNIFICANT CONTRIBUTION IN YEAR 1995. ELECTRONICS SECTOR SECTOR’S SHARE HAS DECLINED FROM 80% TO 60% DURING THE SAME PERIOD. THERE IS HIGH RELIANCE ON DEVELOPMENT OF PETROCHEMICAL PRODUCTS, HIGH VALUE-ADDED SERVICES AND BIOTECHNOLOGIES.

ASSETS

ONE OF THE MOST OPEN ECONOMIES IN THE WORLD WITH EXPORTS PLAYING A MAJOR ROLE IN ITS PERFORMANCE.
ONE OF ASIA’S MOST ADVANCED COUNTRIES IN QUALITY COMPETITIVENESS TERMS.
WORKFORCE’S EDUCATION AND SKILL LEVEL IS VERY HIGH.
A MAJOR EXPORT OF CAPITAL IN ASIA, PARTICULARLY THE STATE-OWNED HOLDING COMPANY, TEMASEK.
THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT HAS BEEN VERY FAVOURABLE.
GREAT POLITICAL STABILITY.

WEAKNESSES

ECONOMY REMAINED OVERSPECIALISED IN THE ELECTRONICS SECTOR.
MUST ACCELERATE DIVERSIFICATION IN SERVICES TO MAINTAIN ITS LEAD OVER OTHER ASIAN ECONOMIES
REFORMS ARE STILL NEEDED TO FOSTER INNOVATION AND EDUCATION-SYSTEM MODERNIZATION.
AGING POPULATION COULD ULTIMATELY AFFECT ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE.

WHOLESALE AND RETAIL TRADE SECTOR

PAST PERFORMANCE

DOMESTIC WHOLESALE TRADE INDEX

SECTORS OF INDUSTRIAL AND CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY AND ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS REGISTERED GROWTHS OF 17.0% AND 12.3%, RESPECTIVELY.
