Singapore lowers growth forecast for 2015 as weak global economy hurts manufacturing
– canadianbusiness.com
SINGAPORE – Singapore lowered its growth forecast for 2015 because of weakness in manufacturing and said gains will continue to be modest next year even as the global economy improves.
The Ministry of Trade and Industry on Wednesday forecast economic growth in 2015 at “close to 2 per cent” and between 1 and 3 per cent in 2016. It previously forecast 2015 growth at between 2 and 2.5 per cent.
Singapore, a city-state at the tip of peninsula Malaysia, is the wealthiest economy in Southeast Asia but has shifted to lower growth rates in the past decade as other countries including China eroded its traditional strengths in electronics and other manufacturing. It has encouraged investment in higher value industries such as pharmaceuticals and also tried to boost services by opening two casinos, encouraging tourism and becoming a centre for private banking.
The ministry said global growth is expected to improve next year but Singapore and other countries in Southeast Asia may not see “significant uplift” in demand for their exports…

Arizona health insurance co-op to cease operations Dec. 31 after failing to get more financing
– canadianbusiness.com
PHOENIX – Executives with Arizona’s non-profit health insurance co-op said Tuesday that they have failed to come up with additional financial backing and the insurer plans to shut down all operations Dec. 31.
The announcement by Meritus Health Partners means 59,000 Arizonans it now covers need to find a new insurer by Dec. 15 if they want coverage on Jan. 1.
The decision comes nearly a month after the state Department of Insurance suspended its right to sell new policies or renew current ones and placed it under formal supervision. Federal officials also pulled its policies from the health insurance marketplace website late last month.
The company said current customers will continue having their claims paid through the end of the year and brokers and medical providers will be paid. A hotline to help current clients find new insurance is expected to be operating by next week.
The insurance department barred Meritus from selling new policies because of fears its finances were so shaky that it would fail midway through 2016…

Why buying an $18K bottle of scotch may be worth it
– moneysense.ca
An unnamed buyer dropped $18,556 on a bottle of whisky this week in Toronto—the priciest in an exceptionally rare trio on offer in Ontario.
The LCBO bought only three bottles from the Scottish Dalmore’s Constellation Collection—the 1991, 1980 and 1976 editions. While they sold the youngest one for $4,976 earlier in November, the other two were snapped up this week at $9,226 and $18,556 respectively.
Now, you ask, why would anyone pay that much for a bottle of whisky? It’s a reasonable question. And it comes with a reasonable answer: Because they probably stand to make a lot of money.
Since 2008, the top 100 most heavily traded malts (known as the Rare Whisky Icon 100 Index; yes, it’s a thing) have delivered a return to investors of 214%. That compares with about 41% for the S&P 500. We are living in a bull market for investment grade whiskies—identified as releases of fewer than 500 bottles—and if you know what you’re doing, there’s money to be made…
