SINGAPORE firms have registered their worst payment performance since the third quarter of 2016, and the downtrend is expected to continue as firms are exposed to a higher risk of payment delinquency in the months to come, the Singapore Commercial Credit Bureau (SCCB) said in a report on Monday.
"The marked deterioration in payment performance is a clear sign that firms are struggling to meet their debt obligations with creditors," said Audrey Chia, chief executive officer of D&B Singapore, which SCCB operates under.
