The S&P Global/CIPS UK Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) is a leading indicator of economic health for the UK manufacturing sector. The index is derived from monthly surveys of senior executives at over 650 manufacturing companies. It covers variables such as output, new orders, employment, and supplier delivery times. A reading above 50.0 indicates expansion, while a reading below 50.0 signals contraction in the sector.
Calculated as a weighted average of five individual indices: New Orders (30%), Output (25%), Employment (20%), Suppliers' Delivery Times (15%), and Stocks of Purchases (10%).
