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 :

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

 

 

 

Singapore's infomation communication services industry is well-positioned to tap into the new business opportunities of the digital age. An early mover in infocomm technology, Singapore today ranks as the second most network-ready country in the world and the first in Asia, according to the World Economic Forum's "Global Information Technology Report 2010/2011". The roll out of the Intelligent Nation 2015 Master Plan and the National Broadband Network will further strengthen Singapore's infrastructure network.

 

The Intelligent Nation 2015 masterplan lays out the blueprint for Singapore's infocomm strategies in the digital age, with the creation of some 80,000 jobs and an increase of value-add to SGD 26 billion. Besides, under the Wireless@SG programme initiated by the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore, free wireless broadband connection is made available at public places till March 31 2013, to encourage usage.

 

More than 80 of the top 100 software and services companies have set up their regional headquarters in Singapore. Many of them, including the top 15 software companies, have regional or Asia Pacific headquarters here. Some of the companies who have set up base in Singapore include Alcatel, Cisco, Crimson Logic, Dell, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Mahindra Satyam, NCS, Oracle, and Tata Consultancy Services.

 

As such, the highly cyclical tech sector has taken a hit in both its financial and share price performance. Moving into 2012, the macroeconomic headwinds will remain strong. Hence tepid growth is expected for the sector, in tandem with easing global economic conditions. Many of the tech companies have customers who are adopting cautious sentiment which increases the risk of order delays and/or pullbacks.

 

This situation is exacerbated by rising cost pressures, as increases in labour wages, raw material costs and higher interest rates, especially in China, have culminated in a margin squeeze on companies. Currency volatility and supply chain disruptions from recent catastrophes have also shrouded the visibility of the tech sector.

 

In general, tech companies have emerged from the last financial maelstrom with stronger balance sheets. This should provide them with better resilience to weather another economic downturn.

It is believed that the tech sector still carries good long-term growth potential, given the increasing importance of IT as a business growth driver, continued technological innovation and rising affluence in the region. Stronger growth would likely come from the emerging markets as ample opportunities exist for continued IT penetration.

 

The share prices of most tech stocks have already corrected sharply in the year 2011. Although current valuations do not appear demanding, downside earnings risks exist if the macroeconomic landscape continue to deteriorate sharper than expectations. On the other hand, cyclical plays could also potentially benefit from a stronger rebound if the global economy recover faster-than-expected. The possibility of the first scenario seems more plausible. 

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : MARGINAL GROWTH

 

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 

 

Incorporated in 1986, the SC is a Exempt Private company, focusing on data processing, hosting and related activities & computer system integration. With over 2 decades of experience in the business, the SC has fairly rich experiences in the business and has achieved a certain market share. With a paid up capital of SGD80,000, the SC's shares are held equally by two individual shareholders. With its long presence in the industry, the SC should have built up its own image and reputation over times. 

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 3 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 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. 

Due to the unavailability of the SC's latest financial information, we only recommend credit be proceeded to the SC with guarantee.
