Singapore factory output down 12.8% on-year in May
Posted: 26 June 2008 1323 hrs
SINGAPORE - Singapore's industrial production in May slumped by a much-bigger-than-expected 12.8 per cent from a year ago, pulled down by a 55.1 per cent drop in biomedical output, the government said Thursday.
Analysts had projected a fall of 2.5 per cent for May.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, industrial output last month fell 5.7 per cent from April, the Economic Development Board (EDB) said in its monthly report.
"Production in May dropped 12.8 per cent compared to the same month last year, largely due to a contraction in the biomedical manufacturing cluster," said the EDB.
The sharp plunge in biomedical output was due mainly to the pharmaceuticals segment, which shrank 58.2 per cent because a different batch of ingredients was produced, it said.
Precision engineering also declined last month with output down 4.8 per cent on the year, but other sectors fared better. The EDB reported increased output in electronics, chemicals and transport engineering.
Electronics output gained 3.8 per cent in May. Almost all electronics segments recorded higher production but information and communications, and consumer electronics, were exceptions, the EDB said.
Chemicals production was up 2.2 per cent and transport engineering increased 13.0 per cent, boosted by the robust marine and offshore engineering industries, it said.
Singapore's monthly manufacturing report is widely monitored as the sector accounts for a third of the city state's gross domestic product, worth 243 billion Singapore dollars in 2007.
The export-reliant economy grew slower than estimated in the year's first quarter, at 6.7 per cent, as demand weakened due to a slowdown in the United States and other key markets, the government has said. - AFP/ir

Citi sees no oversupply of homes in next two years
It estimates only 60% of the 30,000 units forecast will be completed, so fall in prices will be modest
By Joyce Teo, Property Correspondent
ANALYSTS from Citigroup have stuck their necks out to dismiss some market predictions of a crippling property glut in the next two years.
Official figures show that around 30,000 homes will be completed in the next two years, but Citi reckons only around 60 per cent will likely be ready.
If the bank's forecast is accurate, it could mean that downward pressure on prices will not be as great as some had feared.
Citi's report on Singapore property, which came out on Tuesday, pointed to where previous predictions may have got it wrong.
It stated that by the end of March, there were 6,000 collective sale units that had yet to be demolished.
Some of the delays are because of legal challenges over sales, as well as developers extending lease periods for owners due to the weak primary market, Citi said.
It estimated that there will be 8,200 units completed next year and 10,200 in 2010, assuming no further collective sales are done.
These numbers are way below market expectations of 12,500 units next year and 17,500 units in 2010, it said.
These higher supply numbers had led many experts to conclude that an oversupply was on the cards.
But Citi stated: 'We have always argued that such estimates are not always accurate and they often get revised downward over time.'
However, it did not elaborate further on the reasons for its lower supply projections.
Knight Frank director of research and consultancy Nicholas Mak said the direct impact of the supply completion figures on prices is limited because most of these homes would already have been sold.
But a large supply of homes for occupation would negatively affect rentals, and this would in turn hit prices, he added.
Savills Singapore also believes the supply figures released by the Urban Redevelopment Authority are too high.
Mr Ku Swee Yong, its director of marketing and business development, said completion delays in collective sales, as well as delayed launches, have not been factored in.
'There are insufficient construction resources, which means there will likely be delays,' he added.
'Prices of mid- to high-end properties will fall but not to the extent of the 30 per cent to 40 per cent drop predicted by some analysts.'
Banks like Credit Suisse and Barclays Capital have forecast drops of up to 40 per cent in rents and prices, but Citi tips a fall of up to 30 per cent, and largely only in high-end homes.
Citi expects this sector will suffer from falling demand, particularly as expatriates and locals keep downgrading.
That will put downward pressure on rents of prime homes and further pressure on prices, it said.
Citi also said a long downturn like the one that caught out many buyers in the late 1990s and early 2000s is unlikely.
This is because resale volumes are still at above average levels, reflecting strong genuine demand. There is no sign of overbuilding or an overall housing shortage.
Also, mass market homes remain highly affordable and are supported by high rental yields of more than 5 per cent, Citi said.
'Due to the sharp rise, we believe high-end residential is likely to suffer the brunt of the 20 per cent to 30 per cent price decline while the mass market should remain fairly firm.'
The mid-tier segment is likely to fall by 10 per cent to 20 per cent, it said. These are from a high base.
Luxury home prices have surged by 149 per cent since the troughs in 2004.
Prices in the mid-tier and mass-market segments rose by a still robust 79 per cent and 39 per cent respectively.
ok lah. i know prices are down from last year. that's obvious to everyone. take care, hope you get a good buy soon.Quote:
