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 in consumer electronics, information technology products, pharmaceuticals, and on a growing financial services sector. The economy contracted 0.6% in 2009 as a result of the global financial crisis, but rebounded 15.1% in 2010, on the strength of renewed exports. Growth in 2014 was slower at 13.9%, 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. Singapore is a member of the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade agreement negotiations and, with the nine other ASEAN members, will form the ASEAN Economic Community in 2015.

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 1989, the Subject is an Exempt Private company, focusing on trading of electronic components. The Subject has been in business for over two decades. It has built up a strong clientele base and satisfactory reputation will enable the Subject to further enhance its business in the near term.  The Subject is expected to enjoy a stable market shares. A paid up capital of SGD 1,500,000 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.

Over the years, 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 15 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 recommend credit be granted to the Subject with close monitoring.
