Manufacturing PMI inches up 0.1 to 50.7 in December

Meanwhile, the electronics sector PMI crawled up to hit 51.

The Singapore Institute of Purchasing & Materials Management pointed to a 0.1 increase in December 2021’s Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI).

This follows an 18-month period of continued expansion.

Meanwhile, the electronic sector PMI also echoed this sentiment with an addition of 0.2 points to settle at 51. 

UOB’S Barnabas Gan points to faster expansion rates in new orders, exports, factory output, inventory and employment.

He also confirms that the reading is in line with the general improvement across Singapore’s economic condition, following expansions in November’s non-oil domestic exports and industrial production by 24.2% and 14.6% year-on-year, respectively.

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.
