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.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY :

TRADING

The wholesale & retail trade sector expanded by 6.8% in the third quarter of 2015, higher than the 6.0% growth in the preceding quarter. Growth was supported by both the wholesale trade and retail trade segments. The wholesale trade segment was boosted by an increase in both domestic and foreign wholesale trade sales volume. In particular, the domestic wholesale trade index rose by 7.4%, following the 8.1 % increase in the previous quarter. The strong performance in domestic wholesale trade was due to a surge in the sales of petroleum and petroleum products (14%), chemicals & chemical products (39%) and telecommunications & computers (18%).

Similarly, the foreign wholesale trade index rose by 10% in the third quarter of 2015, accelerating from the 6.9% rise in the previous quarter. Growth was driven by improvements in the sales of petroleum & petroleum products (21%), metals, timber & construction materials (10%) and general wholesale trade (8.8%).

Overall retail trade sales volume also recorded resilient growth of 5.6% in the third quarter of 2015, extending the 6.4 % expansion in the second quarter. Growth was supported by a surge in the volume of motor vehicle sales (44%), which was in turn due to a substantial increase in the supply of Certificate of Entitlements. Excluding motor vehicles, retail sales volume increased at a much slower pace of 0.7% over the same period. The increase in retail sales volume (excluding motor vehicles) was due to improved non-discretionary goods sales. For instance, the sales of medical goods & toiletries and department store goods rose by 8.1% and 3.6% respectively.

According to the Retail News Asia, Food and beverage has overtaken fashion as the primary driver of demand for retail real estate in Singapore. Despite declining retail sales and consumer spending, the prime retail sector remained in good shape during the third quarter 2015.

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : AVERAGE GROWTH



CREDIT RISK EVALUATION & RECOMMENDATION

 


Incorporated in 2017, the Subject is an Exempt Private company, focusing on trading of tonic wines,spirits, beer. 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. With an issued and paid up capital of SGD 1 contributed by individual shareholders, the Subject may face difficulties in its attempt to further expand its business in the future. Thus, the Subject should put more efforts on its business to gain higher market share while competing aggressively in the market.

 
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.

 
No financial accounts are available for analysis. As such, we are not able to comment on the Subject's current financial standing.


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.


Based on the above unfavourable condition, we regard granting credit to the Subject to be quite risky. Hence, credit is not recommended.
