Key Market Issues

Singapore's defense industry is receptive to both foreign investment, and the establishment of manufacturing facilities in the country. There is no restriction on foreign direct investment, and at the same time low tax rates and labor costs. Furthermore, the country has signed a double taxation treaty with a number of other governments worldwide, in order to prevent the double taxation of companies investing in Singapore.

Key Highlights

• The Singaporean Government is primarily focused on the acquisition of technologically advanced defense equipment and trades with foreign OEMs in order to secure technology transfers, and training provisions for personnel. This has become a key consideration when procurement decisions are made. In accordance with the industrial co-operation programs which guide all government procurements, technology transfers to the country must be executed in order to develop Singapore's domestic defense industry and train defense personnel to adapt to the new technologies acquired.
• The Singaporean Government has introduced an innovative procurement method, known as lease-to-own arrangements, which is an agreement whereby the buyer leases the equipment, with a purchase date specified after a given period of time. The government enters into lease-to-own arrangements directly with defense contractors, and the arrangements provide foreign OEMs with an alternative entry strategy, as such companies can offer advanced equipment under such terms.
• According to SIPRI, Singapore is now the world's 20th biggest arms exporter and registered a trend-indicator value (TIV) of 12 million in 2011 to 76 million in 2012 in terms of volume of exports of major conventional weapons. During the period 2008-2012, Thailand was the largest importer of Singaporean defense goods, accounting for 55.9% of total defense exports, which was largely attributed to the signing of a deal worth US$160.0 million for the endurance amphibious assault landing ship, which was delivered in 2012.
