The survey of purchasing managers in the South African manufacturing sector is conducted on a monthly basis by Absa Manufacturing PMI. Business circumstances in the sector are forecasted by the index, which provides an early indicator of future conditions. A rating greater than 50% implies that the manufacturing economy is generally expanding, a reading less than 50% suggests that the manufacturing economy is generally contracting.

A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the ZAR while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the ZAR.
