SINGAPORE - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Singapore has a highly developed and successful free-market economy. It enjoys a remarkably open and corruption-free environment, stable prices, and a per capita GDP higher than that of most developed countries. The economy depends heavily on exports, particularly in consumer electronics, information technology products, pharmaceuticals, and on a growing financial services sector. Real GDP growth averaged 8.6% between 2004 and 2007. The economy contracted 1.0% in 2009 as a result of the global financial crisis, but rebounded 14.8% in 2010 and 4.9% in 2011, on the strength of renewed exports. Over the longer term, the government hopes to establish a new growth path that focuses on raising productivity, which has sunk to a compound annual growth rate of just 1.8% in the last decade. Singapore has attracted major investments in pharmaceuticals and medical technology production and will continue efforts to establish Singapore as Southeast Asia's financial and high-tech hub.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY :

MANUFACTURING

 

 

 


On a year-on-year basis, manufacturing output increased 24.4% in October 2011. Excluding biomedical manufacturing, output declined 11.2%. On a three-month moving average basis, manufacturing output in October 2011 increased 19.2% compared to the same period in 2010. On a seasonally adjusted month-on-month basis, manufacturing output grew 14.2% in October 2011.


Output of the biomedical manufacturing cluster expanded 112.3% in October 2011 on a year-on-year basis. The pharmaceuticals segment continued to be the main growth driver to the cluster as output increased 117.5% on the back of a different mix of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Output of the medical technology segment also rose 15.2% in October 2011. On a year-to-date basis, the biomedical output increased by 30.0% compared to the same period a year ago.


Output of the transport engineering cluster rose 15.3% year-on-year in October 2011. Within the cluster, the marine and offshore engineering segment's output expanded by 19.3%, with a higher level of oil rigs and shipbuilding activities. The aerospace segment also recorded a 15.7% increase in output with higher demand for repair jobs from commercial airlines in the Asia Pacific region. Cumulatively, output of the cluster grew 6.3% in the first ten months of 2011, compared to the same period in 2010.


The output of the precision engineering cluster declined 5.5% year-on-year in October 2011. The machinery and systems segment increased 0.6% while the precision modules and components segment declined 13.8%, as a result of lower output in metal precision components, connectors, metal stamping work, as well as dies, moulds, jigs and other tools. On a year-to-date basis, the output of the precision engineering cluster was 17.9% higher than the same period in 2010.


The general manufacturing cluster's output declined by 9.8% year-on-year in October 2011. Output of the food, beverages and tobacco segment grew 2.0% while the printing and miscellaneous industries segments declined by 9.1% and 15.0% respectively.

The petrochemicals and petroleum segments declined by 17.9% and 21.6% respectively in October 2011 due to plant shutdowns. Cumulatively, output of the chemicals cluster grew 5.3% from January to October 2011, compared to the same period in 2010.


Output of the electronics cluster was 20.3% lower in October 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. All segments within the cluster continued to record lower output on the back of shrinking demand for electronics exports. The semiconductors segment saw a 22.5% contraction while the data storage segment declined 13.5%. For the first ten months of 2011, electronics output declined by 10.3%, compared to the same period a year ago.

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : MARGINAL GROWTH

 

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 


Incorporated in 2011, the SC is a Sole Proprietorship company, focusing on manufacture and processing of spices. Having been in the business for only 1 year, the SC's position in the market is not stable. The SC has yet to build up its own image and market shares.


Although the SC has been in the business for only a year, 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. We regard that the SC's management capability is average.


As the SC is registered as a sole-proprietorship, its financial statement are not available for analysis. As such, we are unable to ascertain the SC's financial health. The SC's ability to meet its obligations is very much dependent on the owner's financial strength.


The industry has reached its maturity stage and only enjoying a marginal growth. The steady growth of the country's economy will further enhance the industry activities. Thus, the SC's future performance is very much depend on its marketing strategies in order to retain its position in the market.


Based on the above unfavourable condition, we regard granting credit to the SC to be quite risky. Hence, credit is not recommended.
