The S&P Global Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) is a globally recognized suite of economic indicators that track monthly changes in the private sector. It covers various regions and sectors, primarily manufacturing and services, providing a timely look at global economic trends. The index is based on survey data from senior executives at thousands of companies worldwide. Investors use these indices to compare economic health across different countries and to anticipate shifts in official GDP data.
The PMI is a diffusion index calculated from surveys of private sector companies. Respondents are asked whether business conditions have improved, deteriorated, or stayed the same. The index is calculated as the sum of the percentage of 'higher' responses and half the percentage of 'unchanged' responses.
