JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): Indonesia’s manufacturing growth slowed down in February after hitting a six-year high the previous month as flooding and the Covid-19 pandemic disrupted the sector.
The country’s Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) dropped to 50.9 in February from 52.2 in the previous month, business information provider IHS Markit reported on Monday (March 1).
The index, a gauge of the sector based on a monthly survey of roughly 400 manufacturers, still stood above the 50-point threshold and thus signalled a sustained expansionary trend that began in November.
