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 :

MANUFACTURING

 

 

 

The manufacturing sector contracted by 1.1% in the fourth quarter of 2012, led by declines in the electronics and precision engineering clusters. These clusters were weighed down by weak global demand for semiconductors and semiconductor-related equipment. For the whole year of 2012, the manufacturing sector grew by 0.1%, significantly lower than the 7.8% recorded in 2011 when the sector was boosted by a surge in the growth of the biomedical manufacturing cluster.

 

Output of the biomedical manufacturing cluster grew by 2.4% in the fourth quarter. The expansion was driven by the medical technology segment which grew by a healthy 9.2%, benefitting from robust export demand for medical devices. The pharmaceuticals segment also grew by a modest 1.1%. For 2012, the biomedical manufacturing cluster expanded by 9.9%.

 

Output of the transport engineering cluster expanded by 4.9% in the fourth quarter. The aerospace segment grew by 6.2%, supported by higher demand for repair jobs from commercial airlines. Similarly, the marine & offshore engineering segment expanded by 5.0%, on the back of higher contributions from oil rig projects and oilfield equipment components. In the year 2012, the transport engineering cluster surged by 11%.

 

The output of the precision engineering cluster shrank by 1.3% in the fourth quarter. The decline was led by the 5.3% contraction in the machinery & systems segment, which saw weak export demand for semiconductor-related equipment. On the other hand, the precision modules & components segment grew by 2.9%, supported by higher production of optical instruments & photographic equipment and electronic connectors. In 2012, the precision engineering cluster expanded by 1.3%.

 

The general manufacturing cluster's output grew by 1.2% in the fourth quarter, driven by the 6.4% growth in the miscellaneous industries segment. The segment's growth was supported by higher production of batteries and constructionrelated materials. By contrast, the printing and food, beverages & tobacco segments declined by 6.4% and 1.3% respectively. For 2012, the general manufacturing cluster grew by 2.0%.

 

The chemicals cluster's output grew by 7.7% in the fourth quarter. The petrochemicals and petroleum segments registered growth of 9.3% and 6.3% respectively, partly due to the low base from plant shutdowns in end of 2011. The specialty chemicals segment also expanded by 8.0% on the back of higher regional demand. For the year 2012, the chemicals cluster declined by 0.4%, primarily due to weak regional demand for specialty chemicals in the second and third quarter of 2012.

 

Output of the electronics cluster contracted by 10% in the fourth quarter, led by the semiconductors and computer peripherals segments which contracted by 13% and 15% respectively. By contrast, the data storage segment grew by 7.8%, mainly due to the low base in end of 2011 when floods in Thailand had disrupted the supply chain for data storage products. For the whole of 2012, the electronics cluster contracted by 11%.

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : MATURE



CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 


The SC is Foreign company, focusing on manufacturing papers.

We regard that the SC's management capability is weak. Without capable management, the SC is unlikely to be successful and often contribute to unacceptable levels of accountability. Weak management can affect productivity, profitability, sales growth and ultimately can result in the failure of a business.

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

The industry has reached its optimum level and is generally stable. It is saturated and very competitive. Thus, the SC's growth prospect is very much depends on its capacity in sustaining its performance in the market.

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