Manufacturing PMI expands in June after two months of extraction

This marks the first expansion following two consecutive months of contraction.

Singapore's manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) returned to expansion territory in June, edging up 0.3 point to 50.0, according to the Singapore Institute of Purchasing and Materials Management (SIPMM).

This marked the first expansion reading for the overall manufacturing sector after recording two months of contraction.

According to SIPMM, the expansion can be attributed to an expansion in the new orders index, a faster expansion rate in the new exports and purchase input index, and a slower contraction rate in the factory output and employment index.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
