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 :

TELECOMMUNICATION

 

Singapore's telecommunications industry has outperformed many of its regional peers with strong adoption of the latest products and services. Partially due to the country's small landmass and population size, the telecoms market has rapidly grown to a stage where it is approaching saturation. Next generation technologies, both mobile and fixed, are therefore the next step in fostering new developments and revenue streams, and industry players - the regulator and operators - have rightly moved in that direction.

 

In 2012, growth in the number of broadband subscribers moderated from 17% in 2011 to 10% in 2012. With the increase in the number of subscribers, the broadband subscription rate rose to 1.92 per capita in 2012. Similarly, the number of mobile subscribers grew by a slower 4.0% in 2012 compared to the 6.4% increase in 2011. As a result of the increase in subscribers, the mobile subscription rate reached 1.52 per capita in 2012, slightly higher than the 1.50 per capita in 2011. International telephone call duration saw an increase of 8.5% in 2012, a reversal from the 0.7% decline recorded in the year 2011.

 

The key challenge for operators in Singapore is how to monetize the sea change in consumption patterns. Meanwhile, any boost from Long Term Evolution (LTE) , or the 4th generation of cellular wireless standard (4G), will probably come towards end of the year 2012.

 

As the roll-out of Singapore's Next Generation National Broadband Network takes a closer step towards achieving 95% coverage of the island by end 2012, fiber subscription is expected to increase. However, it is believed that the rise would be gradual rather than exponential, as there is the lack of a "killer app" to drive demand; the more uncertain economic environment may also discourage consumers from upgrading to higher speed and also higher priced plans.

 

Singapore was ranked third in BMI's latest Asia Pacific Telecoms Risk/Reward Ratings with a Telecoms Rating score of 71.9. The Singaporean economy has underperformed since the beginning of 2012, suffering from subdued external demand for much of 2012 and failing to partake in the regional recovery as the year drew to a close. 2013 appears to have started on a brighter note, with the purchasing managers' index finally rising above 50 in January 2013.

 

The telecommunication sector forecast will grow by only 1.5% annually between 2013 and 2017 due to the high penetration and a shift in operators' strategies. In spite of the launch of next generation LTE services, the operators' ARPUs forecast to trendlower due to competition; it is predict the market average to reach SGD46 in 2017. Besides, it is expected that the number of 3G/4G phone subscribers in Singapore to reach 7.198mn in 2017, representing 81.6% of the total mobile market of 8.815mn subscribers.

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK: MARGINAL GROWTH

 

 

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 

Incorporated in 2009, the SC is an Exempt Private company, focusing on telecommunication services. The SC has been in business for 4 years and it has slowly been building up contact with its clients while competing in the industry. However, it has yet to enjoy a stable market shares as it need to compete many well established players in the same field. With a weak shareholders' backing, the SC's capital position is weak. The SC may face difficulties to expand its business compared to other large corporation.

 

Although the SC has been in the business for only 4 years, 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 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 SC's supplier are from both the local and overseas countries. This will eliminates the risk of dependency on deliveries from a number of key suppliers and insufficient quantities of its raw materials.

 

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.

 

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