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.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY :

TRADING


The 1st Quarter 2012 total retail sales is expected to grow from a forecast SGD44.45bn (US$35.28bn) in 2011 to SGD51.50bn (US$46.82bn) by 2015. Singapore lacks the advantage of a massive consumer base, its low unemployment rate, the rapid influx of foreign immigrants and increasing visitor arrivals will continue to instill dynamism into the local retail scene and further buoy consumer spending.


The February 2011 budget provided a boost to consumer spending power, with the SGD6.6bn (US$5.2bn) Total Benefits package earmarked for households in 2011-2012 expected to have positive implications for the Singapore consumer.


In terms of retail sub-sectors, the over-the-counter pharmaceutical sector to be worth US$0.15bn in 2011 and for sales to increase by more than 35% to US$0.20bn by 2015. Sales of consumer electronics products are expected to increase by nearly 24%, from US$3.96bn in 2011 to US$4.90bn by the end of the forecast period on the back of strong demand for high-end products such as multimedia notebooks, 3G phones and smartphones.


The food retail segment will have a market share of 21.3% in 2011, when the sub-sector is forecast to be worth US$7.50bn. Sales are expected to grow to US$8.11bn by 2015.


Mass grocery retail sales are forecast to be US$3.46bn in 2011 and to grow by more than 25% to US$4.45bn by 2015, more than three times the rate of growth for overall food sales. This would take mass grocery retail's share of the overall food market from 45.7% in 2011 to 52.9% by the end of the forecast period.


Retail sales of Asian countries in 2011 are forecast US$3.13trn. China and India are predicted to account for nearly 91% of regional retail sales in 2011, and by 2015 their share of the regional market is expected to be more than 92%. Growth in regional retail sales for 2011-2015 is forecast at 71.6%, an annual average 14.4%. India should experience the most rapid rate of growth, followed by China. Singapore's market share of 1.1% in 2011 is forecast to fall to 0.8% by 2015.

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : AVERAGE GROWTH



CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 

 

Incorporated in 1997, the SC is an Exempt Private company, focusing on trading of timber and allied products, agro-commodities. 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. It should have received supports from its regular customers. The capital standing of the SC is fair. With an adequate share capital, the SC has the potential of expanding its business in future.


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 10 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.


Investigation revealed that the SC's supplies are 100% sourced from overseas countries. As an imported oriented company, its forex exposure is high. The SC faces foreign currency fluctuation which may affect its overall operating costs.


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. Nonetheless, the SC should adopt better competitive strategies in order to sustain its business position and to compete with other well established players in the same industry.
