Take Hyper Communications' experience is mirrored in an OCBC Bank study that is used to compile its SME Index, which surged 8.3 points to 59.5 in the second quarter from 51.2 in the first. When the index is above 50, it indicates an improvement in the health of SMEs relative to the same period a year earlier.
