Indonesia Manufacturing Sector Slips Into Contraction - S&P Global

(RTTNews) - The manufacturing sector in Indonesia fell into contraction territory in April, the latest survey from S&P Global revealed on Friday with a manufacturing PMI score of 46.7.

That's down from 52.4 in March, and it falls beneath the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.

Underpinning the drop in the headline reading were renewed declines in both output and new orders. Production fell steeply, and at the fastest pace since August 2021. For new work, the latest data marked the first reduction in five months, with the rate of decline being sharp overall.

Market demand was reportedly weaker in both domestic and external markets. In fact, volumes of new export orders fell into decline for the second time in three months.
