<h3><i class="fas fa-globe-asia"></i> Critical Sector</h3> |
|
|
<p>Singapore produces about <span class="highlight">10% of global chips</span> and <span class="highlight">20% of semiconductor equipment</span>, contributing <span class="highlight">6% of GDP</span> and employing over <span class="highlight">35,000 workers</span>.</p> |

<h3><i class="fas fa-bolt"></i> Immediate Impact</h3> |
|
|
<p>A 50% US tariff on imported semiconductors would increase costs for US-bound shipments, creating demand uncertainty and potential supply chain re-routing.</p> |
|
|
<p>Effects would ripple into precision engineering, logistics (airfreight), and traded services sectors.</p> |

<div class="card"> |

<h3><i class="fas fa-shield-alt"></i> Mitigating Factors</h3> |
|
|
<p>Several dynamics could soften the blow: |
|
|
<ul style="margin-top: 10px; padding-left: 20px;"> |
|
|
<li>Partial cost pass-through to US buyers</li> |
|
|
<li>Reallocation to non-US markets</li> |
|
|
<li>Tariff exemptions for US manufacturing</li> |
|

<li>Robust FTA networks and domestic R&D support</li> |

<h3><i class="fas fa-lightbulb"></i> Key Insight</h3> |
|
|
<p>An illustrative scenario analysis suggests a modest but non-trivial GDP drag (order of magnitude: <span class="highlight">low fractions of a percentage point</span>) concentrated in US-exposed sub-segments, with wider downside contained by rapid re-routing and policy support.</p> |

<p>A 50% tariff increases the landed cost for US buyers, potentially pressuring margins or end-prices.</p> |

<div class="collapsible-content"> |
|
|
<p>Several mechanisms could reduce the negative impact:</p> |
|
|
<ol style="margin: 15px 0; padding-left: 20px;"> |
|
|
<li><strong>Cost Pass-through:</strong> Memory manufacturers have signaled intent to pass tariff costs to US customers through surcharges.</li> |
|
|
<li><strong>Exemptions:</strong> Companies manufacturing in the US or committing to US expansion may qualify for tariff exemptions.</li> |
|
|
<li><strong>Market Rebalancing:</strong> Firms can rapidly reallocate production to non-US markets.</li> |
|
|
<li><strong>Compliance Systems:</strong> Strong traceability systems allow firms to optimize tariff-exempt flows.</li> |

<li>Upstream equipment/tooling shipments</li> |
