About Standard Bank PMI — Mozambique
DEFINITION
The Standard Bank PMI (Purchasing Managers' Index) is a widely recognized economic indicator that measures the performance of the manufacturing sector in a country. It is based on a monthly survey of purchasing managers from various industries, providing valuable insights into the overall health and direction of the economy. The index is calculated using a scale of 0-100, with a reading above 50 indicating expansion in the manufacturing sector and below 50 indicating contraction. The Standard Bank PMI is a key tool for investors, businesses, and policymakers to assess the current and future economic conditions and make informed decisions.
WHY THIS INDICATOR MATTERS
Sentiment surveys are forward-looking inputs that often lead hard data on output and hiring. Sharp swings can drive cross-asset repricing. The release is more useful as part of a longer-run signal than as a single-print catalyst. Released monthly.
WHAT CHANGED THIS MONTH
Latest reading (Mar 2025): actual 50.2, consensus 49.8. Prior reading (Feb 2025): 50.9. Before that (Jan 2025): 47.5.
WHAT'S NEXT
Sigmacast's 1-month forecast points to a similar reading versus the latest print, with the 3-month outlook reinforcing that direction. Both horizons are aligned bullish for this indicator, suggesting a consistent trend signal. Trend-driven dynamics are the primary neutral force in the current projection.
