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 :

TRADING

 

 

 

The wholesale and retail trade sector contracted by 1.5% in the fourth quarter of 2012, extending the 0.2% decline in the preceding quarter. 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. This was partly due to an increase in the sales of chemicals & chemical products and ship chandlers & bunkering. For the full year of 2012, the domestic wholesale trade index contracted by 2.2%, extending the 1.7% decline in 2011. The foreign wholesale trade index grew by 8.6% in the fourth quarter, an increase from the 6.6% growth in the third quarter. The expansion was partly due to resilient sales of petroleum & petroleum products.

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : AVERAGE GROWTH



CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 

 


Incorporated in 2007, the SC is a Exempt Private company, focusing on trading of metal scrap materials. Having been in business for more than 5 years, the SC has established a remarkable clientele base for itself which has contributed to its business growth. Presently, issued and paid up capital stand at USD942,000. Without a strong capital position, the business expansion opportunity of the SC is limited. 

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 4 employees. Overall, 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 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. 

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