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. Growth in 2014-17 was slower than during the previous decade, at under 3% annually, 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 growth, and increasing Singaporean wages. 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 member of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership negotiations with the 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

Turnover

:

Erratic

[

2013 - 2017

]

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

Increased

[

2013 - 2017

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Unfavourable

[

(6.55%)

]

Return on Net Assets

:

Unfavourable

[

(4.59%)

]

The fluctuating turnover reflects the fierce competition among the existing and new market players.Higher losses before tax during the year could be due to the higher operating costs incurred. The Subject's unfavourable returns on shareholders' funds indicate the management's inefficiency in utilising its assets to generate returns.

Working Capital Control

Debtor Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

222 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

175 Days

]

The Subject's debtors ratio was high. The Subject should tighten its credit control and improve its collection period. The unfavourable creditors' ratio could be due to the Subject taking advantage of the credit granted by its suppliers. However this may affect the goodwill between the Subject and its suppliers and the Subject may inadvertently have to pay more for its future supplies.

Liquidity

Liquid Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

0.76 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

0.90 Times

]

A low liquid ratio means that the Subject may be facing working capital deficiency. If the Subject cannot obtain additional financing or injection of fresh capital, it may face difficulties in meeting its short term obligations.

Solvency

Interest Cover

:

Unfavourable

[

(1.99 Times)

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Favourable

[

0.64 Times

]

The Subject incurred losses in the year. It did not generate sufficient income to service its interest.  If the situation does not improve, the Subject may be vulnerable to default in servicing the interest. The Subject was lowly geared thus it had a low financial risk. The Subject was mainly financed by its shareholders' funds and internally generated funds. In times of economic slowdown / downturn, the Subject being a lowly geared company, will be able to compete better than those companies which are highly geared in the same industry.

Overall Assessment :

The Subject's losses increased but its turnover showed a  fluctuating trend. This indicate the Subject was slowly losing its market share due to its competitors. Due to its weak liquidity position, the Subject will be faced with problems in meeting all its short term obligations if no short term loan is obtained or additional capital injected into the Subject. The Subject's interest cover was negative, indicating that it did not generate sufficient income to service its interest. If its result does not show impressive improvements or succeed obtaining short term financing or capital injection, it may not be able to service its interest and repay the loans. The Subject as a lowly geared company, will be more secured compared to those highly geared companies. It has the ability to meet all its long term obligations.

Overall financial condition of the Subject : LIMITED

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY :

ECONOMY

The economy expanded by 1.9% in the third quarter of 2015, marginally slower than the 2.0% growth in the second quarter. On a quarter-on-quarter seasonally-adjusted annualised basis, the economy grew by 1.9%, a reversal from the 2.6% contraction in the previous quarter.

Among the key sectors of the economy, the manufacturing sector recorded the weakest performance, contracting by 6.2% in the third quarter of 2015, extending the 4.8% decline in the previous quarter. The contraction was primarily due to a decline in the output of the transport engineering, electronics and precision engineering clusters.

The services producing industries performed better, with all sectors registering expansions. The wholesale & retail trade sector posted the strongest growth of 6.8%, followed by the finance & insurance (4.8%), information & communications (4.8%), other services (2.2%) and business services (1.5%) sectors. The accommodation & food services and transportation & storage sectors also recorded positive growth of 0.9% and 0.3% respectively.

Meanwhile, the construction sector grew by 1.6%, moderating from the 2.2% growth in the second quarter of 2015. The sectors that contributed the most to economic growth in the third quarter of 2015 were the wholesale & retail trade and finance & insurance sectors. Together, they accounted for about 97% of overall GDP growth.

Total demand rose by 4.1% in the third quarter, accelerating from the 0.6% growth in the previous quarter. The expansion was supported by both external and domestic demand. External demand rose at a faster pace of 3.2%, compared to the 1.1% growth in the previous quarter. Meanwhile, domestic demand increased by 6.6%, a rebound from the 0.6% decline in the second quarter.

Domestic demand was driven by consumption expenditure, which grew by 6.7% in the third quarter of 2015 following the 3.4% growth in the previous quarter. Both private and public consumption contributed to the rise in consumption expenditure. Changes in inventories also supported growth, rising by 1.6%, a reversal from the 2.9% contraction in the previous quarter. Growth in gross fixed capital formation moderated to 0.2%, from 4.1% in the previous quarter, weighed down by both public and private investments. Public investments contracted by 1.1%, a sharp reversal from the 11% growth in the previous quarter. On the other hand, private investments registered modest growth of 0.5%, slower than the 2.4% growth in the previous quarter.

Overall employment rose by 16,400 on a quarter-on-quarter basis in the third quarter of 2015, faster than the gains of 9,700 in the previous quarter. However, this represented a slower rate of increase as compared to the employment gains of 33,400 in the third quarter of 2014. The increase in employment in the third quarter brought the total number of employed persons in September 2015 to 3,644,000, 1.7% higher than a year ago. The rate of increase over 2014 was slower compared to that recorded in June 2015 (2.2%). At the sectoral level, employment in the services and construction sectors expanded on a quarter-on-quarter basis in the third quarter of 2015, while manufacturing employment continued to decline.

Even though global growth is expected to improve, the continued slowdown in the Chinese economy, the services-driven nature of growth in the US, as well as the trends of in-sourcing in China and the US may mean that external demand for Singapore and regional countries may not see a significant uplift in 2016. Domestically, the labour market is also expected to be tight, with the unemployment rate remaining low.

Against this backdrop, the growth outlook for the Singapore economy in 2016 is modest. While sectors such as finance & insurance and wholesale trade are expected to support growth, the manufacturing sector is likely to remain weak. Sector-specific factors may also weigh on the growth of some sectors. For instance, sustained low oil prices will continue to dampen rig building activities in the marine & offshore segment. Growth in labour-intensive sectors such as retail and food services may also be weighed down by labour constraints. By barring the materialisation of downside risks, the Singapore economy is expected to grow at a modest pace of "1.0% to 3.0%" in 2016.

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : MARGINAL GROWTH
