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.

However, the SC will prepare unaudited accounts for purposes of AGMs and filing with Registry Office if it is unable to meet all its obligations as and when they fall due .

The foreign wholesale trade index grew by 8.6% in the fourth quarter, an increase from the 6.6% growth in the third quarter.

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : AVERAGE GROWTH

 

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 

 

Incorporated in 1981, the SC is a Exempt Private company, focusing on trading of agricultural products. The SC has been in business for over two decades. It has built up a strong clientele base and satisfactory reputation will enable the SC to further enhance its business in the near term. The SC is expected to enjoy a stable market shares. The SC is considered as a small entity with paid up capital at SGD 600,002.


Over the years, the SC has penetrated into both the local and overseas market. The SC has positioned itself in the global market and is competing in the industry. Its stable clientele base will enable the SC to further enhance its business in the near term. 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. This indicates that the SC has greater potential to improve its business performance and raising income for the SC.


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.


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