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 electronics, petroleum products, chemicals, medical and optical devices, pharmaceuticals, and on Singapore’s 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. Growth from 2012-2017 was slower than during the previous decade, a result of slowing structural growth - as Singapore reached high-income levels - and soft global demand for exports. Growth recovered to 3.6% in 2017 with a strengthening global economy.

 

The government is attempting to restructure Singapore’s economy to reduce its dependence on foreign labor, raise productivity growth, and increase wages amid slowing labor force growth and an aging population. Singapore has attracted major investments in advanced manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and medical technology production and will continue efforts to strengthen its position as Southeast Asia's leading financial and technology hub. Singapore is a signatory of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), and a party to the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) negotiations with nine other ASEAN members plus Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand. In 2015, Singapore formed, with the other ASEAN members, the ASEAN Economic Community.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

 

Profitability

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Favourable

[

]

Return on Net Assets

:

Favourable

[

37.41%

]

The Subject's turnover increased steadily as the demand for its products / services increased due to the goodwill built up over the years.The dip in profit could be due to the stiff market competition which reduced the Subject's profit margin. Generally the Subject was profitable. The favourable return on shareholders' funds and return on net assets indicate that the Subject's management was efficient in utilising the assets to generate returns.

Favourable

[

]

Debtor Ratio

:

Favourable

[

40 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

28 Days

]

The Subject's stocks were moving fast thus reducing its holding cost. This had reduced funds being tied up in stocks. The favourable debtors' days could be due to the good credit control measures implemented by the Subject. The Subject had a favourable creditors' ratio where the Subject could be taking advantage of the cash discounts and also wanting to maintain goodwill with its creditors.

Liquidity

Liquid Ratio

:

Favourable

[

1.12 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

1.14 Times

]

A minimum liquid ratio of 1 should be maintained by the Subject in order to assure its creditors of its ability to meet short term obligations and the Subject was in a good liquidity position. Thus, we believe the Subject is able to meet all its short term obligations as and when they fall due.

Solvency

Interest Cover

:

Favourable

[

13.10 Times

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

1.45 Times

]

The interest cover showed that the Subject was able to service the interest. The favourable interest cover could indicate that the Subject was making enough profit to pay for the interest accrued. The Subject was highly geared, thus it had a high financial risk. The Subject was dependent on loans to finance its business needs. In times of economic downturn and / or high interest rate, the Subject will become less profitable and competitive than other firms in the same industry, which are lowly geared. This is because the Subject has to service the interest and to repay the loan, which will erode part of its profits. The profits will fluctuate depending on the Subject's turnover and the interest it needs to pay.

Overall Assessment :

Although the Subject's turnover had increased, its profits had declined over the same corresponding period. This could be due to the stiffer market competition and / or higher operating costs which lowered the Subject's profit margin. The Subject was in good liquidity position with its total current liabilities well covered by its total current assets. With its current net assets, the Subject should be able to repay its short term obligations. With the favourable interest cover, the Subject could be able to service all the accrued interest without facing any difficulties. The Subject's gearing level was high and its going concern will be in doubt if there is no injection of additional shareholders' funds in times of economic downturn and / or high interest rates.

Overall financial condition of the Subject : STABLE

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY :

TRADING

According to the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the wholesale & retail trade sector expanded to 3.0% in the fourth quarter of 2017, moderating from the 3.3% growth in the previous quarter. The wholesale trade segment was boosted by an improvement in foreign wholesale sales volume, which more than offset the weakness in domestic wholesale sales volume. For the whole of 2017, the sector expanded by 2.3%, faster than the 1.0% growth in 2016. The improvement in growth can be attributed to the wholesale segment.

The domestic wholesale sales volume fell by 1.1% in the fourth quarter 2017, reversing the 2.0% growth in the preceding quarter. The poorer outturn was led by declines in the sales volume of household equipment & furniture (-27%) and general wholesale merchandise (-19%), which outweighed the increase in the sales volume of telecommunications & computers (20%). For the whole of 2017, the domestic wholesale trade index expanded by 1.0%, a turnaround from the 2.7% decline in 2016.

On the other hand, foreign wholesale sales volume rose to 6.2% in the fourth quarter 2017, a step-up from the 5.1% growth in the preceding quarter. Growth was driven by expansions in the sales of petroleum & petroleum-related products (11%t), telecommunications & computers (19%) and electronic components (16%). However, growth was partly offset by a 20% decline in the sales volume of metals, timber & construction materials. For the full year 2017, the foreign wholesale trade index rose by 3.6%, faster than the increase of 1.5% in the previous year.

Besides, retail sales volume rose by 2.1% in the fourth quarter 2017, improving from the 0.9% growth recorded in the third quarter. Growth was supported by improvements in both motor vehicle and non-motor vehicle sales volumes. While motor vehicle sales benefitted from an on-year increase in COE supply, growth in non-motor vehicle sales came on the back of an improvement in consumer sentiments. Notably, the sales volume of discretionary goods such as recreational goods, computer & telecommunication equipment and wearing apparel & footwear grew by 4.6%, 4.3 % and 3.1% respectively.

For the full year 2017, retail sales volume expanded by 1.3%, similar to the 1.5% growth recorded in 2016. Growth was driven by both motor vehicle sales and non-motor vehicle sales, which the former rising by 1.5% and the latter increasing by 1.3%. The rise in non-motor vehicle sales was underpinned by higher sales of discretionary goods. For instance, the sales volume of recreational goods (3.9%), watches & jewellery (2.4%), computer & telecommunications equipment (1.7%) and wearing apparel & footwear (1.5%) improved in 2017.
