BUSINESS sentiment among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Singapore remains weak, as they continue to struggle against global economic headwinds and weak market conditions.
Some 80 per cent of SMEs face a reduced or flat profit margin in 2016 compared to last year, while 66 per cent say that revenue is expected to decline or remain the same, according to the SME Survey Report 2016 by the Singapore Chinese Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SCCCI).
