(Bisnis Indonesia) - Economy: PMI rises slightly to 49.2 on Sep 24
Indonesia’s PMI increased slightly to 49.2 on Sep 24 from 48.9 on Aug 24. This figure shows a contractionary condition like the previous month. The decline in PMI performance mainly reflected the monthly decline in output and new orders during Sep, which had been running for three consecutive months. Companies responded to this condition by reducing their purchasing activities, using existing inventory, and maintaining very tight costs and operating efficiency. The world economy until 3Q24 is still experiencing a slowdown. However, some countries such as the Philippines (53.7), India (56.7), and Thailand (50.4) are still expanding even though they are experiencing the same global market conditions as Indonesia.
