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 :

ECONOMY

The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) announced that it expects the Singapore economy to grow by around 3.0% in 2014, and by 2.0 to 4.0% in 2015. Besides that in 2013, the economy grew by 4.1%, higher than the 1.9% growth in 2012. This was mainly due to strong growth in the services producing industries, particularly the finance & insurance, as well as wholesale & retail trade sectors.

In 2013, all sectors contributed positively to growth. Finance & insurance was the largest contributor (1.2 percentage-points), followed by wholesale & retail trade (0.8 percentage-points) and business services (0.6 percentage-points). Growth in the manufacturing sector was improved by 1.7%, on the back of strong growth in the electronics and transport engineering clusters. By contrast, growth in the construction sector moderated to 5.9%, from 8.6% in 2012.

Growth in the services producing industries picked up to 5.3% in 2013, from 2.0% in 2012. This was mainly due to stronger growth in the finance & insurance and wholesale & retail trade sectors. The finance & insurance sector grew by 11%, up from 1.3% in the previous year. The wholesale & retail trade sector has expanded by 5.0%, after declining by 1.4% the year before.

For the whole of 2013, growth in total demand was 3.1%, similar to the pace of growth in 2012. External demand was the key contributor to total demand growth, accounting for 2.7 percentage-points, or almost 90%, of the increase. External demand grew at a faster pace of 3.6%, compared to the 1.4% growth in 2012. This was supported mainly by growth in the exports of machinery & transport equipment, miscellaneous manufactures, and transport services. Total domestic demand rose by a modest 1.7%, following the 8.6% increase in 2012. The slower growth in total domestic demand was primarily due to the decline in gross fixed capital formation (GFCF).

For the full year, total consumption expenditure grew by 4.4% in 2013, faster than the 2.8% growth in 2012. Public consumption expenditure increased by 11%, a strong rebound from the 1.9% decline in 2012. Private consumption expenditure recorded gains of 2.7%, moderating from the 4.1% increase in the preceding year.

Furthermore, in the first three quarters of 2014, the Singapore economy grew by 3.3% on a year-on-year basis. For the rest of the year, growth is expected to ease slightly on a year-on-year basis, in line with a projected slowdown in the global economy. Externally-oriented sectors such as the manufacturing and transportation & storage sectors are likely to slow, whereas growth in the construction sector will continue to be weighed down by the weakness in private sector construction activities. On the other hand, domestically-oriented sectors like business services are likely to remain resilient.

Additionally, the labour market in Singapore is expected to remain tight in 2015, with low unemployment and rising vacancy rates. Against this global and domestic backdrop, the growth outlook for the Singapore economy remains modest. In tandem with the expected pick-up in external demand, externally-oriented sectors such as manufacturing, wholesale trade and finance & insurance are likely to provide support to growth. While some domestically-oriented sectors such as businesses services are expected to remain resilient, labour-intensive ones like construction, retail and food services may see their growth weighed down by labour constraints.

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : MARGINAL GROWTH



CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 

Incorporated in 2015, the Subject is an Exempt Private company, focusing on chartering of ships, barges and boats with crew & ship brokering. The Subject was newly established and it has yet to build up a stable clientele base in the market. It is likely to incur start-up costs during the initial years of its operations. Being a small company with an issued and a paid up capital of SGD 50,000 contributed from individual shareholders, the Subject does not have strong shareholders' backing. Without a strong backing, the Subject may face difficulties in its attempt to further expand its business in the future.

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 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.
