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 0.8% in 2009 as a result of the global financial crisis, but rebounded 14.8% in 2010, on the strength of renewed exports, before slowing to 5.2% in 2011 and 1.3% in 2012, largely a result of soft demand for exports during the second European recession. Over the longer term, the government hopes to establish a new growth path that focuses on raising productivity, which has sunk to an average of about 1.0% 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 :

TRADING

 

 

 

The wholesale and retail trade sector contracted by 1.5% in the fourth quarter of 2012, extending the 0.2% decline in the preceding quarter. For the whole of 2012, the sector declined by 0.7%, reversing the 1.6% growth in 2011. The sector was weighed down primarily by the wholesale trade segment.

The domestic wholesale trade index grew by 1.2% in the fourth quarter of 2012, an improvement from the 5.4% decline in the third quarter. This was partly due to an increase in the sales of chemicals & chemical products and ship chandlers & bunkering. For the full year of 2012, the domestic wholesale trade index contracted by 2.2%, extending the 1.7% decline in 2011. The foreign wholesale trade index grew by 8.6% in the fourth quarter, an increase from the 6.6% growth in the third quarter. The expansion was partly due to resilient sales of petroleum & petroleum products.

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : AVERAGE GROWTH

 

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 

 

Incorporated in 1997, the SC is a Private Limited company, focusing on general trading. Having been in the industry for over a decade, the SC has achieved a certain market share and has built up a satisfactory reputation in the market. However, with a weak shareholders' backing, the SC's capital position is weak. Inadequate capital may be a constraint to the SC as it limits its ability to expand its business in future. The capital standing of the SC is weak. The SC may face difficulties to expand its business compared to other large corporation. Without a strong capital, the business expansion opportunities of the SC is limited. 

Overall, we regard that the SC's management capability is average. 

No financial accounts are available for analysis. As such, we are not able to comment on the SC's current financial standing. 

The industry shows an upward trend and this trend is very likely to sustain in the near terms. 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.
