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 Subject's turnover increased steadily as the demand for its products / services increased due to the goodwill built up over the years.The higher profit could be attributed to the increase in turnover. 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.

Creditors Ratio

:

[

]

The Subject's stocks were moving fast thus reducing its holding cost. This had reduced funds being tied up in stocks. The Subject's debtors ratio was high. The Subject should tighten its credit control and improve its collection period. 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

:

Acceptable

[

0.91 Times

]

Current Ratio

:

Unfavourable

[

0.99 Times

]

The Subject's liquid ratio was slightly low. This could indicate that the Subject's working capital was slightly deficient. The Subject will have to improve its liquidity position either by obtaining short term financing or increase its paid up capital so that it can meet all its short term obligations as and when they fall due.

Solvency

Interest Cover

:

Favourable

[

10.53 Times

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Favourable

[

0.00 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 had no gearing and hence it had virtually no financial risk. The Subject was financed by its shareholders' funds and internally generated fund. During the economic downturn, the Subject, having a zero gearing, will be able to compete better than those which are highly geared in the same industry.

Overall Assessment :

Generally, the Subject's performance has improved with higher turnover and profit. The Subject's liquidity was at an acceptable range. If the Subject is able to obtain further short term financing, it should be able to meet all 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 was a zero gearing company, it was solely dependant on its shareholders to provide funds to finance its business. The Subject has good chance of getting loans, if the needs arises.

Overall financial condition of the Subject : STABLE

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.

Its stable clientele base will enable the Subject to further enhance its business in the near term. 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.

We noted that both the turnover and profits have increased compared to the previous year. The higher profit could be due to increase in turnover and better control over its operating costs. Based on the higher profitability, the Subject has generated a favourable return based on its existing shareholders' funds which indicated that the management was efficient in utilising its funds to generate income. The Subject managed to maintain an adequate liquidity level, indicating that the Subject has the ability to meet its financial obligations. Being a zero geared company, the Subject virtually has no financial risk as it is mainly dependent on its internal funds to finance its business. Given a positive net worth standing at EUR 2,127,932, the Subject should be able to maintain its business in the near terms.

The Subject's payment habit is average. With its adequate working capital, the Subject should be able to pay its short term debts.

The industry has reached its maturity stage and only enjoying a marginal growth. The steady growth of the country's economy will further enhance the industry activities. Thus, the Subject's future performance is very much depend on its marketing strategies in order to retain its position in the market.
