New Market Report Now Available: Singapore Defence & Security Report Q3 2011

New Defense market report from Business Monitor International: "Singapore Defence & Security Report Q3 2011"
 
July 24, 2011 - PRLog -- Singapore's military recruitment strategy is similar to that of Israel, owing to its small population and relatively high defence requirements. The military relies heavily on conscripts and reservists, advanced weaponry and a core of highly trained, professional active military personnel. In addition, the Ministry of Defence maintains a strict zero-growth policy with regards to the military recruitment. This policy has led to increased reliance on unmanned defence technology for the army, navy and air force.

Piracy and terrorism still remain the key security threat for Singapore. The Malacca Strait connecting to Indonesia are classified as one of the world's main maritime 'chokepoints'. 2011 is expected to see a further increase in attacks and robberies after a record number in 2010. Government policy will focus on increasing patrols to ward off potential threats.

Singapore's ruling People's Action Party (PAP) won general elections held on May 7, garnering 60.1% of popular votes and 81 out of 87 seats in parliament. This outcome is in line with our expectation and is broadly positive for both economic and political stability.

On the back of a massive kickoff in 2011, we have decided to upgrade Singapore's real GDP growth forecast to 5.9% (the upper end of the government's forecast of 4.0-6.0%) from 5.1% previously. Indeed, preliminary estimates from the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) indicate that Singapore's real GDP growth reached 8.5% y-o-y in Q111. Sequentially, there was acceleration in momentum, with real GDP increasing by 23.5% q-o-q on an annualised, seasonally adjusted basis. This pace of growth is unlikely to be sustained as we expect the regional monetary tightening to have an impact on external demand in the coming quarters and we also project a China-led slowdown in H211.
