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 2014-16 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.

The continuous fall in turnover could be due to the lower demand
for the Subject's products / services.The Subject's management have been efficient
in controlling its operating costs. The Subject's management had generated
acceptable return for its shareholders using its assets. |

|
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. |

|
|
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. |

|
|
The Subject's interest cover was slightly low. If there is no
sharp fall in its profit or sudden increase in the interest rates, we believe
the Subject is able to generate sufficient income to service its interest and
repay the loans. 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 : |
||||||
|
Due to the efficient control of its operating costs, the Subject
was able to remain profitable despite lower turnover achieved during the year.
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. The Subject had
an acceptable interest cover. If there is no sudden sharp increase in
interest rate or fall in the Subject's profit, we do believe the Subject is
able to generate sufficient cash flow to service its interest payment. 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. |

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. |
