PMI in expansionary territory anew in January at 58.0

SG's PMI grew at the quickest pace compared to six other ASEAN nations.

Singapore’s headline purchasing managers’ index (PMI) was in expansionary territory anew in January at 58.0, based on the data from IHS Markit.

Compared to its ASEAN neighbours namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, Singapore’s PMI grew at the quickest pace.

This also marks the fourteenth straight month in which Singapore's PMI printed above the neutral 50.0 thresholding. A reading above 50 indicates an overall increase in the PMI.

Last December 2021, Singapore’s headline reading was 55.1.

Taking into account all PMI readings in the seven ASEAN nations, the headline PMI reading for the region was 52.7.

PMI

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
