Purchasing Managers’ Index edges down 0.2 point in July

It posted a moderate expansion at 50.1.

The Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) was down 0.2 point in July 2022 from 50.3 last month to 50.1, revealed the Singapore Institute of Purchasing and Materials Management (SIPMM).

The overall manufacturing industry posted 25 consecutive months of expansion. The electronics sector PMI also declined 0.3 point from June 2022, with a “slower rate of expansion” at 50.5.

Sophia Poh, vice president of industry engagement and development at SIPMM, said the decline continues as the manufacturing sector still takes a hit from rising inflation.

“The sector continues to face global headwinds as high inflation hits almost all advanced economies. This further aggravates the costly disruptions on global supply chains due to the pandemic, as well as the prolonged uncertainties arising from the Russia-Ukraine conflict,” she said.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
