Prime Minister's National Day Message
|
This
National Day, I want to focus on the economic
slowdown.
|
External
Environment
|
First, the external environment has turned
unfavourable. This will have a large impact on us,
because Singapore is the most trade-dependent
country in the world.
|
The
global economy is slowing down. The US downturn is
more severe than anticipated. Japan is near
recession, and the EU has also slowed.
|
Secondly,
the global electronics cycle has turned downwards.
Analysts expect the semiconductor industry to
decline by a quarter this year. Electronic products
are our biggest domestic exports, accounting for
more than half (55%) of them.
|
Thirdly,
the region is in a state of flux. The Asian
economies have not fully recovered from the 1997
financial crisis. Neither has investor confidence in
them. In Malaysia, UMNO and PAS are contesting hard
for Malay support. In Indonesia, President Megawati
has just succeeded Gus Dur. We hope that this will
be a turning point, and Indonesia will begin to
stabilise and recover. The Asian economies are among
our major trading partners; so their problems are
affecting us too.
