Report from China 


 

 Manufacturing PMI only barely above negative
threshold
China‟s manufacturing PMI, a measure of activity in the
manufacturing sector and a leading indicator of the
economy, fell to a five-month low in October.
Small companies continue to be hardest hit by the slowing
domestic growth. In mid-year the government began a
further round of support aimed at stimulating growth but
the latest figures suggest more stimulus measures may be
forthcoming.
The National Bureau of Statistics survey indicates that the
October manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI)
was 50.8 percent, 0.3 percentage points lower than a
month earlier. The index remained just above the key 50
level which separates expansion from contraction of
manufacturing output.
