الصين مؤشر مديري المشتريات المركب

The Caixin China General Composite PMI stood at 51.2 in August 2024, unchanged from July's 9-month low. Still, it was the tenth straight month of growth in private sector activity, with faster manufacturing output growth offsetting slower services activity expansion. Likewise for new orders, a renewed improvement in the manufacturing sector contrasted with a slower increase in services new business, though overall growth picked up pace. Meanwhile, employment levels fell despite rising backlogged orders. On prices, input cost inflation rose slightly, but increased competition resulted in selling prices falling the most since January. Charges declined across both manufacturing and service sectors. Looking ahead, confidence strengthened. "There is an increasingly urgent need for China to enhance policy support and ensure the effective implementation of earlier policies," said Dr. Wang Zhe, senior economist at Caixin Insight Group.
