Singapore’s economy- stronger year ahead

The latest growth snapshot of Singapore’s economy may have painted a worrying picture, but economists point to encouraging signs in other parts of Asia which signal that the worst could be over for the tiny island state. Singapore’s gross domestic product (GDP) in the third quarter contracted at a faster pace than initially expected, shrinking 5.9 percent in the third quarter from the previous quarter, worse than its earlier flash estimate of a 1.5 percent contraction.

On a year-on-year basis, the economy grew 0.3 percent from the same period last year, slower than the advance estimate of 1.3 percent and economists’ forecasts of 0.9 percent. The set of numbers prompted the government to reduce its outlook for GDP this year which it now expects to grow at around 1.5 percent, down from a previous forecast of 1.5-2.5 per cent.However, the third quarter numbers could be as bad as it get for Singapore, according to economists, who expect exports for the trade-sensitive nation to pick up in the final quarter of the year, as seen in recent data.Recent signs of bottoming in exports growth in bellwether countries such as Korea, Taiwan, and crucially China, are encouraging. We have seen some early signs of this in the (Singapore) non-oil domestic exports data for October, and chances are more will come through into the year-end.Non-oil domestic exports rose 7.9 percent in October from a year earlier, far better than the forecast of 3.1 percent in a Reuters poll. This reinforces the view that exports from trade powerhouses in the region are stabilizing after declining for most of the year.If exports continue to recover, Singapore’s GDP could pick up more strongly in the fourth quarter.Singapore’s trade-dependent economy is very sensitive to external demand because exports make up more than 200 percent of its GDP, making it one of the most vulnerable economies in the event of a global slowdown.Earlier this year, a possible disaster triggered by a Greek exit from the euro zone sparked concerns that Singapore would be tipped into a “major trade shock”, with the fallout similar to that of the 2008-09 financial crisis.So far, the economy has managed to avert a recession, while the third-quarter numbers are “poor,” the economy has probably bottomed in the third quarter.The Singapore economy continues to struggle in the context of a still subdued external environment. Credit Suisse expects the Singapore economy to expand 1.7 percent this year, compared to growth of 4.9 percent in 2011.

India’s aim @ 8% Growth.

India is aiming to get back on higher growth trajectory of 8 percent as it would help in generating more jobs and promoting inclusive growth.The central focus should be on getting growth back.India has been growing by over 9 percent before the global financial meltdown of 2008 which pulled down the growth rate to 6.7 percent in 2008-9. The growth rate further dipped to nine-year low of 6.5 percent in 2011-12. The 12th Five-Year Plan (2012-17) seeks to raise the average annual growth rate to 8.2 percent from 7.9 percent achieved in the previous Plan.They know very little about how to promote job and India is totally in favor of restoring jobs, reducing poverty and best framework there is to first get growth back and …inclusive growth. From the point of view of India, the aim would be to get back to the kind of growth which was possible as exports would remain subdued for several years. Probably government have to run somewhat bigger current account deficit, so the key macro challenge is to get enough money into the country via FDI, FII etc. These efforts would also help in imparting expansionary stimulus to the global economy.
