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. 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 in 2011-13, 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. 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 :

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 1990, the Subject is an Exempt Private company, focusing on provision of interior design services. With over 2 decades of experience in the business, the Subject has fairly rich experiences in the business and has achieved a certain market share. With a weak shareholders' backing, the Subject's capital position is weak. Inadequate capital may be a constraint to the Subject as it limits its ability to expand its business in future. The capital standing of the Subject is weak. The Subject may face difficulties to expand its business compared to other large corporation.

Being a small company, the Subject's business operation is supported by 6 employees. Overall, we regard that the Subject's management capability is average.

As the Subject 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 Subject's future performance is very much depend on its marketing strategies in order to retain its position in the market.

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