Guess which manufacturing segment will be badly hit by China's hard landing

But some segments might be spared.

According to Moody's Analytics, Singapore's goods and service producers would face different fates in a Chinese hard landing. Within goods producing sectors, manufacturing, specifically electronics, would suffer most, and pharmaceuticals would be least affected. 

Here's more from Moody's:

China's growing domestic consumer market means an increasing proportion of Singapore's tech exports end up in China, rather than being reassembled and shipped elsewhere.

In 2010 the Monetary Authority of Singapore found that China accounted for around 23% of East Asia's exports (mostly for electronic and electrical products), up from 6% in 2000. In contrast, the bulk of Singapore’s pharmaceutical exports are sent to the U.S. and Europe.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
