Indonesia Manufacturing Sector Contracts Further In June - S&P Global

(RTTNews) - The manufacturing sector in Indonesia continued to contract in June, and at a faster pace, the latest survey from S&P Global showed on Tuesday with a manufacturing PMI score of 46.9.

That's down from 47.4, and it moves further beneath the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.

Central to June's downturn was an accelerated decline in demand for Indonesian goods. New orders decreased for a third successive month, with the rate of contraction its strongest since August 2021. Panel member reports suggested that market activity was muted, as clients were deterred from placing new orders.

Data indicated that the reduction in sales was domestic-driven, as Indonesian manufacturers pointed to no change in new export business following two consecutive months of contraction. In response, Indonesian factory output declined again in June. The fall was solid but eased slightly from that seen in May.
