The economy registered 10.1%    growth in 1994, with prospects for 7.5%-8.5% growth in 1995. In 1994,    the manufacturing and financial and business services sectors have led    economic growth. Exports boomed, led by the electronics sector,    particularly US demand for disk drives. Rising labor costs continue to    be a threat to Singapore's competitiveness, but there are indications    that productivity is keeping up. In applied technology, per capita    output, investment, and labor discipline, Singapore has key attributes    of a developed country.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $57 billion (1994    est.)       National product real growth rate: 10.1% (1994)       National product per capita: $19,940 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 3.6% (1994)       Unemployment rate: 2.6% (1994)       Budget:    revenues: $11.9 billion    expenditures: $10.5 billion, including capital expenditures of $3.9    billion (FY93/94 est.)       Exports: $96.4 billion (f.o.b., 1994)    commodities: computer equipment, rubber and rubber products, petroleum    products, telecommunications equipment    partners: Malaysia 20%, US 19%, Hong Kong 9%, Japan 7%, Thailand 6%    (1994)       Imports: $102.4 billion (c.i.f., 1994)    commodities: aircraft, petroleum, chemicals, foodstuffs    partners: Japan 22%, Malaysia 16%, US 15%, Taiwan 4%, Saudi Arabia 4%    (1994)       External debt: $20 million (1993 est.)       Industrial production: growth rate 13% (1994 est.); accounts for 28%    of GDP (1993)       Electricity:    capacity: 4,510,000 kW    production: 17 billion kWh    consumption per capita: 5,590 kWh (1993)       Industries: petroleum refining, electronics, oil drilling equipment,    rubber processing and rubber products, processed food and beverages,    ship repair, entrepot trade, financial services, biotechnology       Agriculture: minor importance in the economy; self-sufficient in    poultry and eggs; must import much of other food; major crops -    rubber, copra, fruit, vegetables       Illicit drugs: transit point for Golden Triangle heroin going to the    US, Western Europe, and the Third World; also a major money-laundering    center       Economic aid:    recipient: US commitments, including Ex-Im (FY70-83), $590 million;    Western (non-US) countries, ODA and OOF bilateral commitments    (1970-89), $1 billion       Currency: 1 Singapore dollar (S$) = 100 cents       Exchange rates: Singapore dollars (S$) per US$1 - 1.4524 (January    1995), 1.5275 (1994), 1.6158 (1993), 1.6290 (1992), 1.7276 (1991),    1.8125 (1990)       Fiscal year: 1 April - 31 March       Singapore:Transportation       Railroads:    total: 38.6 km    narrow gauge: 38.6 km 1.000-m gauge       Highways:    total: 2,883 km    paved: 2,796 km    unpaved: 87 km (1991 est.)       Ports: Singapore       Merchant marine:    total: 563 ships (1,000 GRT or over) totaling 11,167,596    GRT/17,845,687 DWT    ships by type: bulk 96, cargo 121, chemical tanker 16, combination    bulk 2, combination ore/oil 7, container 78, liquefied gas tanker 6,    oil tanker 198, refrigerated cargo 1, roll-on/roll-off cargo 12,    short-sea passenger 1, specialized tanker 3, vehicle carrier 22    note: a flag of convenience registry; includes 20 countries among    which are Japan 35 ships, Denmark 21, Germany 21, Hong Kong 18,    Belgium 14, Thailand 11, Sweden 8, US 7, Indonesia 6, and Norway 5;    Singapore owns 1 ship under Malaysia registry       Airports:    total: 10    with paved runways over 3,047 m: 3    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 2    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 4    with paved runways 914 to 1,523 m: 1       Singapore:Communications       Telephone system: 1,110,000 telephones; good domestic facilities; good    international service; good radio and television broadcast coverage    local: NA    intercity: NA    international: submarine cables extend to Malaysia (Sabah and    Peninsular Malaysia), Indonesia, and the Philippines; 2 INTELSAT (1    Indian Ocean and 1 Pacific Ocean) earth stations       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 13, FM 4, shortwave 0    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 2    televisions: NA       Singapore:Defense Forces       Branches: Army, Navy, Air Force, People's Defense Force, Police Force       Manpower availability: males age 15-49 860,437; males fit for military    service 629,973 (1995 est.)       Defense expenditures: exchange rate conversion - $2.7 billion, 6% of    GDP (1993 est.)
