PMI in ‘harmless’ retreat, CIER says
COMEBACK: Nearly all manufacturing sectors reported an upswing in business last month, as companies rebuild inventory in anticipation of a global economic recovery
By Crystal Hsu / Staff reporter
The official manufacturing purchasing managers’ index (PMI) last month fell to 63.2, slowing from an unprecedented high a month earlier, as the Lunar New Year holiday cut the number of working days, while firms displayed the strongest business sentiment on record, the Chunghua Institution for Economic Research (CIER, 中華經濟研究院) said yesterday.
All manufacturing sectors except textile and food suppliers reported business upswings last month from a year earlier, although the Lunar New Year holiday eliminated one week, which explains why the economic barometer stayed in the expansion zone, but shed 1.9 points, the Taipei-based think tank said.
