The OCBC SME Index* is a high-frequency index measuring the business health and performance of SMEs. The healthcare industry continued flat lining at 50.4, caused primarily by weaker performance of the distributors. Year on year, collections for the distributors dropped 18% from the high in 2021 led by Covid-related supplies and could be signalling a reversion of demand to pre-pandemic levels.
