Investment Grade

THE SINGAPORE ECONOMY WAS SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECTED BY THE CRISIS DUE TO THE CONTRACTION OF EXPORTS, WHICH REPRESENT 210% OF GDP. SALES ABROAD OF MANUFACTURED PRODUCTS (ELECTRONICS, ENGINEERING, PHARMACEUTICALS, PETROCHEMICALS) AND SERVICES (FINANCIAL SERVICES, TOURISM, TRANSPORT) WERE AFFECTED BY THE WEAK PERFORMANCE OF THE MAIN TRADING PARTNERS (MALAYSIA, UNITED STATES, CHINA, JAPAN). WITH THE ECONOMY'S SLIDE INTO RECESSION, THE CENTRAL BANK REDUCED INTEREST RATES SEVERAL TIMES AND A STIMULUS PROGRAMME REPRESENTING 8% OF GDP WAS IMPLEMENTED IN JANUARY LAST YEAR. ALTHOUGH INCREASED PUBLIC SPENDING ON INFRASTRUCTURE, TRANSPORT, HEALTH AND EDUCATION ENABLED THE AUTHORITIES TO LIMIT THE CONTRACTION OF INVESTMENT, THAT DID NOT SUFFICE TO OFFSET THE DROP IN PRIVATE INVESTMENT. THE GOVERNMENT MOREOVER GRANTED DEFAULT GUARANTEES OF UP TO 80% ON NEW LOANS. AND HOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTION WAS SUPPORTED BY A REDUCTION OF INCOME TAX AND MEASURES TO FOSTER EMPLOYMENT. 

IN Q1 2010, GROWTH REBOUNDED SIGNIFICANTLY (15.5% Y/Y). FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR, GROWTH IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN HIGH (8.9%) THANKS TO THE POSITIVE IMPACT ON DOMESTIC DEMAND OF THESE EXPANSIONARY MONETARY AND FISCAL POLICIES AND THE GRADUAL RECOVERY OF THE WORLD ECONOMY. INVESTMENT, CONSUMPTION, AND NET EXPORTS ARE AGAIN EXPECTED TO CONTRIBUTE POSITIVELY TO GROWTH. ON THE SUPPLY SIDE, THE CONSTRUCTION SECTOR WILL BENEFIT AGAIN THIS YEAR FROM INCREASED PUBLIC SPENDING WHILE ELECTRONICS, PHARMACEUTICALS, PETROCHEMICALS, FINANCIAL SERVICES, AND TOURISM WILL GRADUALLY RECOVER. THE COFACE PAYMENT MONITORING ARE THUS EXPECTED TO REFLECT THIS FAVOURABLE TREND. SINGAPORE BOASTS THE BEST GOVERNANCE IN ASIA UNDERPINNED BY AN EFFECTIVE LEGAL SYSTEM THAT FACILITATES CLAIM COLLECTION AND A HIGH LEVEL OF FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY.

STRONG FINANCIAL POSITION

DESPITE IMPLEMENTATION OF A BROAD STIMULUS PROGRAMME, THE COUNTRY CONTINUED TO RUN A SLIGHT FISCAL SURPLUS IN 2009, WHICH IS EXPECTED TO GROW IN 2010. PUBLIC SECTOR FINANCES HAVE THUS REMAINED SOLID.

DESPITE THE CONTRACTION OF THE CURRENT ACCOUNT SURPLUS, EXTERNAL ACCOUNTS ALSO REMAINED LARGELY IN SURPLUS LAST YEAR. IN 2010, THE CURRENT ACCOUNT SURPLUS WILL LIKELY REMAIN STABLE AS RESULT OF THE MORE RAPID RECOVERY OF IMPORTS COMPARED TO EXPORTS, ASSOCIATED WITH THE RISE OF RAW MATERIAL PRICES AND THE REBOUND OF DOMESTIC DEMAND. BESIDES, THE VOLATILITY OF PORTFOLIO INVESTMENT FLOWS THAT DEVELOPED AFTER THE LEHMAN BROTHERS BANKRUPTCY EASED IN 2009. IN 2010, THE HIGH LEVEL OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE RESERVES IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO ENDOW THE COUNTRY WITH GOOD CAPACITY TO WITHSTAND SUDDEN CAPITAL.

MOREOVER, DESPITE THE INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL TURMOIL AND THE EXPOSURE OF SOME BANKS TO SUBPRIMES AND LEHMAN BROTHERS, THE BANKING SYSTEM IS STILL SOLID THANKS TO SATISFACTORY RISK MANAGEMENT, EFFECTIVE OVERSIGHT, AND HIGH SOLVENCY AND LIQUIDITY RATIOS. 

ASSETS

· VERY HIGH QUALITY-COMPETITIVENESS

· DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH VALUE-ADDED SECTORS (CHEMICALS, PHARMACEUTICALS, FINANCE)

· STRONG FDI INFLOWS THANKS TO AN ADVANTAGEOUS TAX REGIME, POLITICAL STABILITY AND AN EXCELLENT BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

· MAJOR EXPORTER OF CAPITAL IN ASIA VIA THE PUBLIC HOLDING COMPANY TEMASEK

WEAKNESSES

• ECONOMY DEPENDENT ON FOREIGN DEMAND
• SHORTAGES OF SKILLED LABOUR
• AGEING POPULATION
• LATENT SOCIAL TENSIONS IN A CONTEXT OF INCREASING INEQUALITY AND GROWING DURABLE UNEMPLOYMENT AMONG THE LEAST SKILLED

NEWS

GROWTH MAY SURPASS GOVT’S 15% FORECAST

SINGAPORE’S REBOUNDING ECONOMY MAY BURST THROUGH THE 15.0% GROWTH CEILING FORECASTED BY THE GOVERNMENT EARLIER THIS YEAR.

ACCORDING TO 20 ECONOMISTS AND ANALYSTS SURVEYED BY THE MONETARY AUTHORITY OF SINGAPORE (MAS), THE ECONOMY IS MOST LIKELY TO EXPAND BY BETWEEN 14.9% AND 15.9% THIS YEAR, RATHER THAN THE 13.0% TO 15.0% RANGE EXPECTED BY THE GOVERNMENT.

THEIR MEDIAN GROWTH FORECAST OF 14.9% - ANNOUNCED IN THE LATEST MAS SURVEY OF PROFESSIONAL FORECASTERS RELEASED YESTERDAY – IS A SIGNIFICANT LEAP FROM THE MEDIAN FORECAST OF 9.0% CONTAINED IN THE PREVIOUS SURVEY IN JUNE.

AND, IF ACHIEVED, IT WILL ENTER THE RECORD BOOKS AS SINGAPORE’S HIGHEST-EVER ANNUAL GROWTH RATE.

THE LAST RECORD WAS SET IN 1970, WHEN THE ECONOMY ADVANCED 13.8%.

ALONG WITH THE RECORD GROWTH, THE ECONOMISTS HAVE ALSO RAISED THEIR FORECASTS FOR THIS YEAR’S EXPORTS, INFLATION AND THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE.

BUT THIS YEAR’S BIGGER OUTPUT JUMP COULD SPELL SLOWER GROWTH NEXT YEAR, BECAUSE 2011’S PERFORMANCE WILL BE MEASURED AGAINST THIS YEAR’S HIGHER BASE.

THE FORECASTERS ARE NOW ANTICIPATING 4.0% TO 4.9% EXPANSION FOR NEXT YEAR, DOWN FROM THEIR EARLIER FORECAST OF 5.0% TO 5.9%.

THE UPGRADED PROJECTION FOR THIS YEAR WAS DRIVEN MAINLY BY THE MANUFACTURING SECTOR, WHICH IS NOW THOUGHT TO HAVE PERFORMED BETTER FOR THE FULL YEAR.

EXPECTATIONS HAVE ALSO BEEN RAISED FOR THE FINANCIAL SERVICES AND WHOLESALE AND RETAIL TRADE INDUSTRIES.

THIS SHOULD SEE THE ECONOMY REGISTERING DOUBLE-DIGIT EXPANSIONS IN THE THIRD AND FOURTH QUARTERS, SAID THE ECONOMIST POLLED.

THEY ARE PREDICTING 11.6% GROWTH FOR THE THIRD QUARTER, UP FROM A PREVIOUS FORECAST OF 6.0%; ALTHOUGH IT IS DOWN ON THE 18.8% RISE IN THE SECOND QUARTER.

IN THE FOURTH QUARTER, GROWTH MAY ACCELERATE TO 12.6%, THE SURVEY SHOWED.

MOST ECONOMISTS BELIEVE THE ECONOMY PEAKED IN THE SECOND QUARTER AND WILL SLOW AS THE GLOBAL ECONOMY WAVERS IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR.

MR DAVID COHEN OF ACTION ECONOMICS FORECASTS 15.5% GROWTH THIS YEAR, EVEN AFTER TAKING INTO ACCOUNT A QUARTER-QUARTER CONTRACTION IN THE THIRD QUARTER AND SLIGHT GROWTH IN THE FOURTH QUARTER.

“I THINK THE SENSE IS THAT THE SECOND QUARTER GOT A LITTLE AHEAD OF ITSELF, AND MAY HAVE BEEN EXAGGERATED BY SOME SPECIAL FACTORS IN BIOMEDICAL MANUFACTURING,” HE SAID.

“THE PRODUCTION SCHEDULES TEND TO BOUNCE AROUND AND MAYBE WERE A LITTLE OVERSTATED IN THE SECOND QUARTER.”

ON TOP OF THAT, MR COHEN SAID”THERE IS A SENSE THAT THE GLOBAL ECONOMY IS SLIPPING FROM THE PACE OF REBOUND SEEN EARLIER THIS YEAR.

WHILE THE ASIAN ECONOMIES GENERALLY CONTINUED ROARING IN THE SECOND QUARTER, GROWTH IN BOTH JAPAN AND THE UNITED STATES SLOWED SHARPLY.

THE MAS SURVEY REPORTED YESTERDAY THAT THE SINGAPORE DOLLAR IS PROJECTED TO RISE TO $1.363 AGAINST THE US DOLLAR AT THE END OF THIS MONTH AND TO $1.35 BY YEAR-END.

OUTLOOK

THE COMPOSITE LEADING INDEX (CLI) FELL ON A QUARTER-ON-QUARTER BASIS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1Q 2009. THE CLI DECLINED BY 1.8% IN 2Q 2010, REVERSING THE 2.4% RISE IN 1Q 2010. OF THE NINE COMPONENTS WITHIN THE INDEX, SIX COMPONENTS – NAMELY, STOCK OF FINISHED GOODS, NON-OIL SEA CARGO HANDLED,

NEW COMPANIES FORMED, STOCK PRICES, NON-OIL RETAINED IMPORTS AND WHOLESALE TRADE – DECLINED COMPARED TO THE PRECEDING PERIOD.

THE ONLY INDICATOR THAT SHOWED AN INCREASE WAS US PURCHASING MANAGERS’ INDEX, WHILE THE DOMESTIC LIQUIDITY AND MONEY SUPPLY INDICATORS REMAINED STABLE IN 2Q 2010.

THE SINGAPORE ECONOMY ROSE STRONGLY AT A PACE OF 18.0% IN 1Q 2010, IN TANDEM WITH THE RECOVERY IN GLOBAL AND REGIONAL MARKETS. THIS RECOVERY WAS BROAD-BASED ACROSS ALL KEY SECTORS OF THE ECONOMY, PARTICULARLY MANUFACTURING, WHOLESALE AND RETAIL TRADE AND FINANCIAL SERVICES.

FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR, THE GLOBAL ECONOMY IS EXPECTED TO RECOVER AT A MODEST PACE. SIGNS OF A SLOWDOWN CAN ALREADY BE OBSERVED IN THE KEY EXTERNAL ECONOMIES. IN PARTICULAR, US GROWTH HAS SLOWED IN 2Q 2010, DUE TO A SMALLER RISE IN PRIVATE CONSUMPTION EXPENDITURE AND A LOWER BOOST FROM INVENTORY RESTOCKING EFFORTS. HOUSEHOLD SPENDING IS LIKELY TO BE DEPRESSED FOR SOME TIME AS THE LABOUR AND HOUSING MARKETS REMAIN WEAK. FORWARD-LOOKING INDICATORS SUCH AS CONSUMER AND BUSINESS CONFIDENCE INDICES HAVE ALSO DECLINED. IN THE EU, MARKET CONCERNS HAVE BEEN LIFTED TO SOME EXTENT BY THE POSITIVE RESULTS OF STRESS TESTS ON COMMERCIAL BANKS AND SECURED DEBT FINANCING IN GREECE. HOWEVER, THE SITUATION IN SEVERAL SOUTHERN EUROPEAN ECONOMIES REMAIN WEAK, AND ON THE WHOLE, FINAL DEMAND IN THE EU IS EXPECTED TO BE SLUGGISH. THE SLOWDOWN IN EXTERNAL DEMAND HAS ALSO AFFECTED ASIAN ECONOMIES. SPECIFICALLY, CHINA REPORTED A SLOWER PACE OF GROWTH IN THE SECOND QUARTER AS COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS QUARTER.

IN LINE WITH THESE DEVELOPMENTS, THE STRONG GROWTH MOMENTUM IN SINGAPORE IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE YEAR MAY EASE IN THE LATTER HALF OF THIS YEAR, ALTHOUGH GROWTH RATES WILL REMAIN HEALTHY. INDUSTRY SPECIFIC FACTORS SUCH AS ANTICIPATED PLANT MAINTENANCE SHUTDOWNS IN THE BIOMEDICAL MANUFACTURING CLUSTER MAY ALSO DAMPEN OVERALL GROWTH.

TAKING THESE FACTORS INTO CONSIDERATION, THE MINISTRY OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY EXPECTS THE SINGAPORE ECONOMY TO GROW BY 13.0% TO 15.0% IN 2010.
