The manufacturing sector in Singapore continued to expand in July, albeit at a slower pace, the latest survey from Nikkei showed on Wednesday with a manufacturing PMI score of 50.7.
That's down from 52.3 in June, although it remains above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.

Staff numbers and purchasing activity both fell slightly.
