THE latest SBF-DP SME Index, which measures the business sentiment of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), has dipped to an all-time low of 49.8.
This is the first time in its seven-year history that it has gone below 50.0, indicating a pessimistic outlook. It was just three quarters ago when the Overall Index hit its then-lowest at 50.0 for the Q2 2016 to Q3 2016 period.
