It was up across all five sectors but services and manufacturing saw the largest increases y-o-y.

This was due to a jump in payment delays within the recreational, hotels and accommodation and social services sub-segments impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. Audrey Chia, D&B Singapore’s chief executive officer, said SCCB is expecting the downtrend in payment performance to continue as firms are exposed to a higher risk of payment delinquency in the months to come.
