Get the earliest insight into how global economies are recovering through the third quarter from COVID-19 lockdowns from the world’s leading survey data – based on more than 28,000 interviews – the Purchasing Managers’ Index™ (PMI™)
PMI data indicated that the global economy continued to recover
in August, but rising Covid-19 infection rates led to renewed
downturns in some countries. More insights into whether the
recovery is progressing or fading will be revealed by the September
data.
The final PMI numbers will provide more detail on both
manufacturing and services conditions in all major developed and
emerging markets, including deeper dives into the surveys' trade,
order books, employment and price data
Detailed sector PMIs will also add insight into winners and
losers: August saw signs of welcome revivals in sectors such as
autos, real estate and household goods, but conditions remained
especially tough for many other consumer-facing sectors such as
tourism and recreation.
Key topics
Which countries and sectors are seeing the strongest rebounds
from the peak of the pandemic's impact? How are rising infection
rates in some nations affecting business confidence?
How are jobs being affected? What other factors should we be
looking out for to gauge growth recovery momentum and
sustainability?
