Developed from a survey of 150 industrial enterprises in Sri Lanka, The Sri Lanka Manufacturing Purchasing Manager's Index assesses the performance of the manufacturing sector. The index tracks five separate indicators with the following weights: new orders, output, employment, suppliers' delivery times, and stock of items purchased. The delivery times index is reversed so that it moves in a similar direction to the other indexes on the manufacturing purchasing managers' index. A value above 50 indicates that the manufacturing sector has increased in comparison to the previous month, a rating below 50 indicates that the manufacturing sector has declined, and a value of 50 implies no change.

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