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

[

2012 - 2016

]

Profit/(Loss) Before Tax

:

Decreased

[

2012 - 2016

]

Return on Shareholder Funds

:

Unfavourable

[

(79.09%)

]

Return on Net Assets

:

Unfavourable

[

(78.97%)

]

The fluctuating turnover reflects the fierce competition among the existing and new market players.The Subject incurred losses during the year due to the inefficient control of its operating costs. 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

:

Favourable

[

32 Days

]

Creditors Ratio

:

Favourable

[

6 Days

]

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

[

1.14 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

:

Nil

[

0.00 Times

]

Gearing Ratio

:

Favourable

[

0.00 Times

]

The Subject's interest cover was nil as it did not pay any interest during the year. 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 :

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. 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 did not make any interest payment during the year. The Subject was dependent on its shareholders' funds to finance its business needs. 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 : LIMITED

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRY :

ECONOMY

In the fourth quarter of 2017, the economy grew by 3.6% on a year-on-year basis, moderating from the 5.5% growth in the previous quarter. The sectors which contributed the most to growth in the quarter were the manufacturing and finance & insurance sectors. For the whole of 2017, the economy expanded by 3.6%, higher than the 2.4% growth in 2016. All major sectors grew in 2017, with the exception of the construction sector. The manufacturing and finance & insurance sectors were the key contributors to overall GDP growth.

The manufacturing sector expanded by 4.8% in the fourth quarter 2017, slowing from the 19% surge in the third quarter. Growth was led by robust output expansions in the electronics and precision engineering clusters, which more than offset declines in the biomedical manufacturing and transport engineering clusters. For full year 2017, the manufacturing sector grew by 10%, higher than the 3.7% growth in 2016. Growth was primarily driven by the electronics and precision engineering clusters, while output declines in the biomedical manufacturing, transport engineering and general manufacturing clusters weighed on growth.

The services producing industries collectively expanded to 3.5% in the fourth quarter 2017, the same pace of growth as the previous quarter. Among the services sectors, the finance & insurance sector registered the strongest growth at 6.3%, followed by the information & communications (6.0%) and the transportation & storage (5.3%) sectors. Services producing industries as a whole expanded to 2.8% in full year 2017, faster than the 1.4% growth in 2016. All services sectors saw positive growth.

Among the services sectors, the transportation & storage and finance & insurance sectors registered the fastest pace of growth in 2017. Growth of the transportation & storage sector came in at 4.8%, a pickup from the 1.3% in 2016, largely due to stronger growth in the water transport and air transport segments. Similarly, the finance & insurance sector expanded by 4.8%, improving from the 1.6% growth in 2016. The robust performance of the sector was largely because of strong growth in the fund management segment, even as growth in the financial intermediation and insurance segments remained firm.

Besides, the construction sector contracted to 5.0%, extending the 9.3% decline in the third quarter 2017. The output of the sector was weighed down primarily by the weakness in private sector construction activities, as certified payments across all private construction segments declined. Meanwhile, the construction sector contracted to 8.4% in 2017, a reversal from the 1.9% growth in 2016. Output in the sector was primarily weighed down by the weakness in private sector construction works.

In the fourth quarter 2017, total demand rose by 4.9%, lower than the 5.5% growth in the preceding quarter. For the whole of 2017, growth in total demand came in at 4.4%, an improvement from the 1.6% in 2016. External demand was the key contributor to total demand growth (3.0 percentage-points), while the contribution from domestic demand was also positive (1.4 percentage-points).

Total domestic demand rose by 6.6 % in the fourth quarter 2017, following the 8.5% growth in the previous quarter. Growth was supported primarily by the build-up in inventories and also higher consumption expenditure. Gross fixed capital formation also contributed positively to total domestic demand growth in the quarter. For 2017 as a whole, total domestic demand increased by 5.4%, higher than the 3.1% expansion in 2016. Meanwhile, external demand rose by 4.2% in the fourth quarter 2017, similar to the 4.4% growth in the preceding quarter. The increase in external demand was primarily due to higher real merchandise exports. For the full year 2017, external demand grew at a faster pace of 4.1%, compared to the 1.1% growth in 2016.

Total consumption expenditure rose at a slower pace of 4.4% in the fourth quarter 2017, compared to the 5.7% expansion in the previous quarter. For the full year 2017, total consumption expenditure grew by 3.3%, an improvement from the 2.1% growth in 2016, on the back of faster growth in both public and private consumption. Public consumption expanded by 4.1%, compared to 3.5% in 2016, while private consumption grew by 3.1%, compared to 1.7% in the previous year. Expenditure on miscellaneous goods & services, recreation & culture and housing & utilities were the main contributors to private consumption growth.

Since November 2017, the outlook for global growth has improved slightly with the IMF upgrading its global growth forecast for 2018 to 3.9%, partly on the back of higher growth expected in the US due to the recently approved tax reforms. However, as compared to 2017, growth in most of Singapore’s key final demand markets such as the Eurozone, Japan, NIEs and ASEAN-5 is projected to moderate or remain unchanged in 2018. In the US, GDP growth is projected to improve further in 2018, supported by domestic demand and fiscal stimulus arising from the recently approved tax reforms, although there are uncertainties around the extent to which investments would respond to the tax reforms. On the other hand, growth in the Eurozone economy is projected to moderate in 2018, following the rebound seen in 2017. Growth will be underpinned by continued improvements in labour market conditions and largely accommodative monetary policies.

In Asia, China’s growth is also expected to ease in 2018 on the back of a slowdown in investment, even as consumption is likely to remain stable and provide support to growth. Meanwhile, growth in the key ASEAN economies is expected to remain firm in 2018, supported by sustained improvements in domestic demand as well as merchandise exports. On balance, the external demand outlook for Singapore is expected to be slightly weaker in 2018 as compared to 2017. Taking into account the global and domestic economic environments, Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) has maintained the 2018 GDP growth forecast at “1.5 to 3.5%”. MTI’s central view is that growth will likely come in slightly above the middle of the forecast range, barring the materialisation of downside risks.
