The manufacturing sector in Indonesia moved up into expansion territory in August, the latest survey from S&P Global revealed on Monday with a manufacturing PMI score of 51.5.
That's up from 49.2 in July, and it moves above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.
Underpinning the strengthening in the health of the sector were renewed expansions in both output and new orders. In both cases, growth was recorded for the first time in five months and at solid rates, as firms mentioned new product launches and client wins. Market demand was reportedly stronger in both domestic and external markets.
