Singapore’s February PMI slips to 50.7

This marks the 18th month of expansion for the sector.

Singapore’s Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) fell 0.2 points in February to 50.7, signaling a slower expansion in the manufacturing sector. This marks the 18th month of expansion for the sector.

The latest PMI reading reflects a slowdown in key indices, including new orders, new exports, factory output, input purchases, and employment. However, supplier deliveries returned to an expansion.

Slower growth was also observed in finished goods, imports, order backlog, and future business indices.

Meanwhile, the input prices index contracted after eight months of expansion. The order backlog index continued its growth streak for the 21st month, while the future business index marked its 20th consecutive month of expansion.

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.
