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

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.

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 2009, the SC is a Exempt Private company, focusing on general wholesale. 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.

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 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.

With weak shareholders' backing and small capital position, we regard granting credit to the SC to be quite risky. Hence, credit is not recommended.
