Singapore banks' 2015 loan growth seen tepid, says Maybank Kim Eng

SINGAPORE (Feb 23): Loan growth for the three Singapore banks is expected to be tepid this year, after having increased 5.8% in 2014 following four years of double-digit expansion, says Maybank Kim Eng.

"We expect housing loan demand to stay listless this year, weighed down by a still-slack property market," Maybank Kim Eng analysts Ng Wee Siang and Ng Li Hiang wrote in a note today.

"Business loans should be propped up by building and construction loans and an expected rebound in general-commerce loans in 2H15," they said.

US-dollar-denominated loan growth should do better, although this is also expected to slow down in 2015, they noted.

While Singapore banks have emerged as "credible" providers of US-dollar loans in the wake of the eurozone crisis, they are expected to face "slowing traction" this year amid a slowdown in the global economy, they said.

Loans in US dollars provided by Singapore banks grew 17.8% last year, down from 34.8% in 2013.

On the flip side, Singapore banks are "well equipped" to handle any US-dollar liquidity crunch, according to the analysts.

"USD loans are largely short-term trade loans, which can be run down quickly in a liquidity crunch. Banks have alternative funding sources in short-term commercial papers and currency swaps with the Monetary Authority of Singapore."

I don't think you understand. It's building a higher low.
Anyway, it can go below 19.40, just less likely.

Budget to screw us yet again..

Seniors aged 55 and above will receive a Seniors’ Bonus of up to S$600, double the amount they usually receive. The move will benefit some 1.4 million Singaporeans and cost the Government an additional S$385 million. Those above the age of 65 and living in HDB flats will get an additional S$300 and a total of S$900.

garmen double down on ang pows to win old people's votes

Think we get to enjoy some benifits. Its better than the previous one. E.g 50% tax rebate cap at 1k and also a study credit if you sign up for a course that improve your skill.

Also, giving to the seniors also indirectly benefits us since our parents belong to that category. Won't you agree?
