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. Unemployment is very low. The economy depends heavily on exports, particularly of consumer electronics, information technology products, medical and optical devices, pharmaceuticals, and on its vibrant transportation, business, and financial services sectors. The economy contracted 0.6% in 2009 as a result of the global financial crisis, but has continued to grow since 2010 on the strength of renewed exports. Growth in 2014 was slower at 2.9%, largely a result of soft demand for exports amid a sluggish global economy and weak growth in Singapore’s manufacturing sector. The government is attempting to restructure Singapore’s economy by weaning its dependence on foreign labor, addressing weak productivity, and increasing Singaporean wages. Singapore has attracted major investments in pharmaceuticals and medical technology production and will continue efforts to strengthen its position as Southeast Asia's leading financial and high-tech hub. Singapore is a member of the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade negotiations, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership negotiations with the nine other ASEAN members plus Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea and New Zealand, and in 2015, Singapore will form, with the other ASEAN members, the ASEAN Economic Community.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY :

TRADING

The wholesale and retail trade sectors have expanded by 2.0% in the third quarter of 2014, extending the 1.8 per cent growth in the previous quarter. In 2013, the wholesale and retail sector expanded by 5.0%, after declining by 1.4% the year before. Growth of the sector was driven by the wholesale trade segment.

The domestic wholesale trade index has increased by 3.2% in the fourth quarter of 2013, moderating from the 6.6% growth in the previous quarter. The slower growth was due to a decline in the sales of furniture and household equipment (-12%) and petroleum and petroleum products (-0.6%). For the full year, the domestic wholesale trade index grew by 5.2% reversing the 2.2% decline in 2012. On the other hand, the foreign wholesale trade index has increased by a slower pace of 5.6% in the fourth quarter, compared to the 7.7% expansion in the preceding quarter. The slowdown was due to a fall in the sales of telecommunication equipment and computer (-3.8%) and petroleum and petroleum products (-2.5%). For the full year, the growth of the foreign wholesale trade index moderated slightly to 8.6% from 9.1% in the previous year.

In the fourth quarter of 2013, retail sales volume fell by 6.2%, extending the 5.6% decline in the previous quarter. Excluding motor vehicles, retail sales volume increased by 0.4%, a slower pace of expansion as compared to the 1.6% gain in the preceding quarter. The sales volume of motor vehicles fell by 33% in the fourth quarter of 2013, extending the 32% decline in the previous quarter. Meanwhile, the sales of several discretionary items also fell in the fourth quarter of 2013. For instance, the sales of telecommunications apparatus and computers fell by 12%, while the sales of furniture and household equipment declined by 5.4%.

For the full year, retail sales volume contracted by 4.3%, a reversal from the 1.3% expansion in 2012. Excluding motor vehicle sales, the retail sales volume grew by 1.1% in 2013, slower than the 1.7% increase in 2012. Watches and jewellery recorded the largest increase (11%) in sales in 2013, followed by optical goods and book (3%) and medical goods and toiletries (3%). By contrast, the sales of telecommunications apparatus and computer (-7.3%), furniture and household equipment (-4.2%) and petrol service stations (-1.4) declined in 2013.

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : AVERAGE GROWTH

CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 

Incorporated in 2011, the Subject is an Exempt Private company, focusing on trading of commodity. The Subject 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. A paid up capital of SGD 400,000 & USD 4,500,000 allows the Subject to expand its business more comfortably. However, the Subject does not have strong shareholders’ backing. Without a strong shareholders' backing, the opportunity of the Subject to expand its business is limited. 

Investigation revealed, the Subject has penetrated into both the local and overseas market. The Subject has positioned itself in the global market and is competing in the industry. Its stable clientele base will enable the Subject to further enhance its business in the near term. Being a small company, the Subject's business operation is supported by 13 employees. We regard that the Subject's management capability is weak. Without capable management, the Subject 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 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 Subject'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. Overall the Subject has a good control over its resources. 


The industry shows an upward trend and this trend is very likely to sustain in the near terms.

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