MARKET UPDATES :
- SINGAPORE’S financial markets have remained stable through 2014, but banks will have to be watchful of liquidity and credit risks, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said in its annual Financial Stability Review on Thursday. According to the report by the central bank’s Macroeconomic Surveillance Department, Singapore’s banking system is sound and remains resilient to external shocks. Asset quality is healthy. The local banks’ capital adequacy positions are well above regulatory requirements, and their liquidity positions are sound.
- NET capital flows to Asia have turned negative, partially reversing the net inflows since 2010, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said in its annual Financial Stability Review on Thursday. According to the report by the central bank’s Macroeconomic Surveillance Department, several Asian economies have received substantial financial flows in the past few years as Asian sovereigns and corporates benefited from historically low risk premiums and global volatility.
- THE balance sheets of Singapore property firms remain healthy despite the moderation in residential property prices and transactions, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) said in its annual Financial Stability Review on Thursday. According to the report by the central bank’s Macroeconomic Surveillance Department, median return on assets for property firms, excluding S-Reits, fell from 5.5 per cent in the second quarter of 2013 to 3.9 per cent in Q2 2014, even as their debt-to-equity ratio rose from 55 per cent to 65 per cent.
- IPS is one of Singapore’s leading providers of integrated security solutions. As political instability grows around the region, ongoing disputes in certain countries and increasing national security concerns have led to governments in the region boosting their defence budgets, which puts IPS in an advantageous position to benefit from this situation.
