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.

The SC is not required to have their accounts audited. However, the SC will prepare unaudited accounts for purposes of AGMs and filing with Registry Office if it is unable to meet all its obligations as and when they fall due .

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY :

ECONOMY

 

 

 

According to Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI), the Singapore economy is expected to grow by 1.0 to 3.0% in 2013 as growth in the global economy is likely to remain subdued despite macroeconomic conditions stablising in recent months of 2013.

 

However, the global economic outlook is still clouded with uncertainties. Notably, concerns remain over the extent of the fiscal cutback with the budget sequester in the US and potential flareup of the debt crisis in the Eurozone. Should any of these risks materialise, Singapore's economic growth could come in lower than expected.

 

Although resilient domestic demand in emerging Asia will provide some support to global demand, it will not fully mitigate the effects of an economic slowdown in the advanced economies. Consequently, Singapore's externally-oriented sectors such as electronics and wholesale trade will continue to perform poorly, while the financial services sector will be affected by heightened uncertainties in the external environment. Nevertheless, there will be some modest support to growth from the biomedical manufacturing cluster and tourism-related sectors. The former will likely see increased production of active pharmaceutical ingredients and biologics while the latter will benefit from rising visitor arrivals from the region.

 

For the whole of 2012, Singapore's GDP growth slowed to 1.3%, from 5.2% in 2011, mainly due to weakness in the externally-oriented sectors. Manufacturing sector growth slowed sharply from 7.8% in the year 2011 to 0.1%. The hudge decline was largely due to a rebound in the output of the biomedical manufacturing and transport engineering clusters, which together helped to mitigate part of the fall in output in the electronics cluster. By contrast, the construction sector growth accelerated from 6.3% to 8.2% in 2012, due to the expansion in both public and private building activities.

 

Growth in the services producing industries also moderated to 1.2% in 2012, compared to 4.6% in 2011. This was mainly due to the slowdown in wholesale and retail trade, accommodation and food services as well as other services industries. In particular, the wholesale and retail trade sector contracted by 0.7%, compared to the 1.6% growth in year 2011. The accommodation and food services as well as other services industries posted lower gains of 2.8% and 0.1% respectively, compared to 8.2% and 6.3% in 2011.

 

For the whole of 2012, all sectors, except the wholesale and retail trade, contributed to growth. Business services was the largest contributor with 0.4 percentage-points, followed by construction with 0.3 percentage-points and transportation and storage at 0.2 percentagepoints. Besides, growth in total demand moderated to 2.4%, compared to 4.2% in 2011. Domestic demand was the key contributor to total demand growth, accounting for 2.2 percentage-points, or over 90 per cent, of the increase.

 

In 2012, total domestic demand rose by 9.7%, following the 6.5% increase in 2011. The growth in total domestic demand was broad-based across consumption, gross fixed capital formation (GFCF) and changes in inventories. The total consumption expenditure in 2012 grew slightly by 0.9%, easing from the 3.7% growth in 2011. Public consumption expenditure fell by 3.6%, reversing the 0.5% growth in 2011. Private consumption expenditure registered a 2.2% gain, moderating from the 4.6% increase in the preceding year.

 

Overall, the Singapore economy is expected to grow by 1.0 to 3.0% in 2013.

 

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : MARGINAL GROWTH

 

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 


Incorporated in 2011, the SC is a Exempt Private company, focusing on shipping services. The SC has been in business for less than 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. With a weak shareholders' backing, the SC's capital position is weak. Inadequate capital may be a constraint to the SC as it limits its ability to expand its business in future. The capital standing of the SC is weak. The SC may face difficulties to expand its business compared to other large corporation. Without a strong capital, the business expansion opportunities of the SC is limited.

The SC focuses only on overseas market. This global approach has enabled the SC to generate a better growth sales. Being an export-oriented company, the SC however is subjected to certain inherent risk of global economy slowdown, foreign currencies fluctuations and stiff competition in the international market. 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.

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.

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