    SINGAPORE firms posted an improvement in operating conditions in August, with the headline Nikkei Singapore purchasing managers' index (PMI) rising to 52.3 from July's 50.7.

    Although this represented only a modest strengthening, the latest reading signalled the fourth consecutive monthly improvement, said IHS Markit, the financial-information services provider which compiles the index.
