malaysia - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Malaysia, a middle-income country, has transformed itself since the 1970s from a producer of raw materials into an emerging multi-sector economy. Under current Prime Minister NAJIB, Malaysia is attempting to achieve high-income status by 2020 and to move farther up the value-added production chain by attracting investments in Islamic finance, high technology industries, biotechnology, and services. The NAJIB administration also is continuing efforts to boost domestic demand and reduce the economy's dependence on exports. Nevertheless, exports - particularly of electronics, oil and gas, palm oil and rubber - remain a significant driver of the economy. As an oil and gas exporter, Malaysia has profited from higher world energy prices, although the rising cost of domestic gasoline and diesel fuel, combined with strained government finances, has forced Kuala Lumpur to begin to reduce government subsidies. The government is also trying to lessen its dependence on state oil producer Petronas. The oil and gas sector supplies more than 40% of government revenue. The central bank maintains healthy foreign exchange reserves, and a well-developed regulatory regime has limited Malaysia''s exposure to riskier financial instruments and the global financial crisis. Nevertheless, Malaysia could be vulnerable to a fall in commodity prices or a general slowdown in global economic activity because exports are a major component of GDP. In order to attract increased investment, NAJIB has raised possible revisions to the special economic and social preferences accorded to ethnic Malays under the New Economic Policy of 1970, but he has encountered significant opposition, especially from Malay nationalists and other vested interests.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY :

TRADING

 

 

 


The 1st Quarter 2012 total retail sales is expected to grow from a forecast SGD44.45bn (US$35.28bn) in 2011 to SGD51.50bn (US$46.82bn) by 2015. Singapore lacks the advantage of a massive consumer base, its low unemployment rate, the rapid influx of foreign immigrants and increasing visitor arrivals will continue to instill dynamism into the local retail scene and further buoy consumer spending.


The February 2011 budget provided a boost to consumer spending power, with the SGD6.6bn (US$5.2bn) Total Benefits package earmarked for households in 2011-2012 expected to have positive implications for the Singapore consumer.


In terms of retail sub-sectors, the over-the-counter pharmaceutical sector to be worth US$0.15bn in 2011 and for sales to increase by more than 35% to US$0.20bn by 2015. Sales of consumer electronics products are expected to increase by nearly 24%, from US$3.96bn in 2011 to US$4.90bn by the end of the forecast period on the back of strong demand for high-end products such as multimedia notebooks, 3G phones and smartphones.


The food retail segment will have a market share of 21.3% in 2011, when the sub-sector is forecast to be worth US$7.50bn. Sales are expected to grow to US$8.11bn by 2015.


Mass grocery retail sales are forecast to be US$3.46bn in 2011 and to grow by more than 25% to US$4.45bn by 2015, more than three times the rate of growth for overall food sales. This would take mass grocery retail's share of the overall food market from 45.7% in 2011 to 52.9% by the end of the forecast period.


Retail sales of Asian countries in 2011 are forecast US$3.13trn. China and India are predicted to account for nearly 91% of regional retail sales in 2011, and by 2015 their share of the regional market is expected to be more than 92%. Growth in regional retail sales for 2011-2015 is forecast at 71.6%, an annual average 14.4%. India should experience the most rapid rate of growth, followed by China. Singapore's market share of 1.1% in 2011 is forecast to fall to 0.8% by 2015.

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : AVERAGE GROWTH

 

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 

 

Incorporated in 2004, the SC is an Exempt Private company, focusing on trading of electronic components. Having been in business for 9 years, the SC has established a remarkable clientele base for itself which has contributed to its business growth. However, with a weak shareholders' backing, the SC's capital position is weak. The capital standing of the SC is weak. The SC should put more efforts on its business to gain higher market share while competing aggressively in the market.


Although the SC has been in the business for less than a decade, it has established an extensive marketing network to support its business operation. Penetrating into the overseas countries has well diversified its business risk. However, the SC faces fierce competition from other well established company. Being a small company, the SC's business operation is supported by 5 employees. Overall, we regard that the SC's management capability is average. 


As the SC is registered as an Exempt Private company, it is not required to file financial statements for public review. As such, we are unable to ascertain its present financial health.


The industry shows an upward trend and this trend is very likely to sustain in the near terms. Hence, the SC is expected to benefit from the favourable outlook of the industry. However, we are of the opinion that there are a large number of other companies in the same industry. In another word, we believe that the SC faces stiff competitions from other local players.


In view of the above, we only recommend credit be proceeded to the SC with guarantee.
