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 freeTRADE 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 1990, the Subject is an Exempt Private company, focusing on trading of diamonds and jewelleries. 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 USD 5,500,000 & 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 5 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 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.

FINANCIAL ACCOUNT

No latest financial accounts are available at the Registry Office.

DIAMOND INDUSTRY – INDIA

- From time immemorial, India is well known in the world as the birthplace for diamonds. It is difficult to trace the origin of diamonds but history says that in the remote past, diamonds were mined only in India. Diamond production in India can be traced back to almost 8^th Century B.C. India, in fact, remained undisputed leader till 18^th Century when Brazilian fields were discovered in 1725 followed by emergence of S. Africa, Russia and Australia.

- The achievement of the Indian diamond industry was possible only due to combination of the manufacturing skills of the Indian workforce and the untiring and unflagging efforts of the Indian diamantaires, supported by progressive Government policies.

- The area of study of family owned diamond businesses derives its importance from the huge conglomerate of family run organizations which operate in the diamond industry since many generations.

- Some of the basic traits of family run business enterprises include spirit of entrepreneurship, mutual trust lowers transaction costs, small, nimble and quick to react, information as a source of advantage and philanthropy.

- Family owned diamond businesses need to improve on many fronts including higher standard of corporate governance, long-term performance – focused strategies, modern management and technology.

- Utmost caution is to be exercised while dealing with some medium and large diamond traders which are usually engaged in fictitious import – export, inter-company transactions, financially assisted by banks. In the process, several public sector banks lost several hundred million rupees. They mostly diverted borrowed money for diamond business into real estate and capital markets.

- Excerpts from Times of India dated 30^th October 2010 is as under –

- Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council in its statistical data has shown the export of polished diamonds to have increase by 28 % in February 2013. Compared to $ 1.4 bn worth of polished diamond export in February, 2012, India exported $ 1.84 billion worth of polished diamonds in February 2013. A senior executive of GJEPC said, “Export of cut and polished diamonds started falling month-wise after the imposition of 2 % of import duty on the polished diamonds. But February, 2013 has given a new ray of hope to the industry as the export of polished diamonds has actually increased by 28 %. It means the industry is on the track of recovery and round tripping of diamonds has stopped completely.” Demand has started coming from the US, the UK, Japan and China. India’s polished diamond export is expected to cross $ 21 bn in 2013-14.

- The banking sector has started exercising restraint while following prudent risk management norms when lending money to gems and jewellery sector. This follows the implementation of Basel III accord – a global voluntary regulatory standard on bank capital adequacy, stress testing and market liquidity.
