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

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.

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 2008, the SC is a Sole Proprietorship company, focusing on trading of food products. The SC has been in business for 5 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.


Investigation revealed that the SC concentrates only on the local market. This narrow market segment has placed the SC at high business risk and limits its business expansion opportunities. Any adverse changes to the local economy might have a negative impact on the SC's business performance. Being a small company, the SC's business operation is supported by 10 employees. Overall, 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 shows an upward trend and this trend is very likely to sustain in the near terms. Being a small player in the industry, the SC however faces fierce competition from other well-established players and it is likely to be exposed to currency fluctuation risk which in turn may impair its profitability.


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