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 :

CONSTRUCTION

For the whole of 2013, the sector expanded by 5.9%, slower than the growth of 8.6% in the previous year. Total construction output increased by 5.4% on the back of robust private and public residential building activities. Besides, total construction demand increased by 17% to $36 billion in 2013, setting a new record high. The increase was driven by robust construction demand from the public sector.

Public sector construction demand rose by 56% to $15 billion in 2013. The increase was supported by a ramp-up of public-housing developments and significant increase in civil engineering construction demand on account of the award of various Thomson MRT Line contracts. Besides, despite a slight drop of 1.1%, total private sector construction demand remained relatively strong at $21 billion. Demand was fuelled by residential developments, where contracts awarded increased by 15% to reach $9.8 billion in 2013, the highest on record. Besides, civil engineering construction demand contracted by 45% due to the high base in 2012. However, the value of civil engineering contracts awarded in 2013 was still higher than that achieved between 2009 and 2011, supported largely by the construction of major utilities and berth facilities.

In 2013, construction output has increased by 5.4% to reach $33 billion, surpassing the previous peak of $32 billion in 2012. Growth was underpinned by strong on-site construction activities for public and private residential, private industrial and civil engineering developments. Total construction output in 2014 is projected to rise to between $34 billion and $36 billion, supported by record high levels of contracts awarded in 2013 and continued robust on-site activities from the high levels of demand since 2011.

Public sector construction output reached $12 billion in 2013, comparable to that achieved in 2012, supported largely by an increase in onsite construction activities for public housing (18%) and institutional and other building (4.7%) projects. Some of the major institutional building projects under construction included the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) Campus Phase 1, Ng Teng Fong Hospital, National Heart Centre, National Art Gallery and Victoria Concert Hall. Additionally, even though civil engineering construction output has contracted by 9.6% in 2013, progress payments remained robust at $4.8 billion, supported by new rail construction such as the Downtown Line Stages 2 & 3 as well as other infrastructure projects like Tuas West Extension and Marina Coastal Expressway.

Private sector construction output expanded by 8.3% to $21 billion in 2013, underpinned by growth across all development types. In particular, robust growth in on-site construction activities for residential developments (13%) and civil engineering (14%) projects supported overall output growth.

BCA forecasts total construction demand in 2014 to be between $31 billion and $38 billion. Demand from the public sector is expected to strengthen to between $19 billion and $22 billion, contributing close to 60% of projected total construction demand. The boost to overall demand is likely to come from stronger institutional and civil engineering construction works. At the same time, private sector demand is projected to soften to between $12 billion and $16 billion, due to the anticipated reduction in residential construction demand as property market sentiments remain subdued following the various property cooling measures.

Furthermore, BMI continues to expect construction and infrastructure growth in Singapore to moderate over the 2014-2020 period. Real growth for the construction sector is forecast to slow from 5.9% in 2014 to3.0% in 2019, while real growth for the infrastructure sector is expected to fall from 12.7% in 2014 to 4.0%in 2019. This moderation is primarily due to declining housing demand, longer construction periods for planned infrastructure projects and a poor export outlook, which could curb investment in non-residential buildings.

In September 2014, Singapore's Land Transit Authority (LTA) announced that Phase 2 of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system's Downtown Line would open ahead of schedule in Q116. The project had previously been delayed by financial troubles at one of its key contractors, and was expected to come online only by Q216. Phase 2 of the Downtown Line will include 12 stations, nine of which will be completely new. The project's total cost is estimated at approximately SGD800mn.

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : AVERAGE GROWTH



CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 

 


Incorporated in 1998, the Subject is an Exempt Private company, focusing on construction. Having been in the industry for over a decade, the Subject has achieved a certain market share and has built up a satisfactory reputation in the market. It should have received supports from its regular customers. A paid up capital of SGD 1,800,000 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 that the Subject concentrates only on the local market. This narrow market segment has placed the Subject at high business risk and limits its business expansion opportunities. Any adverse changes to the local economy might have a negative impact on the Subject's business performance. Being a small company, the Subject's business operation is supported by 20 employees. Overall, we regard that the Subject's management capability is average. This indicates that the Subject has greater potential to improve its business performance and raising income for the Subject.

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.
