The manufacturing sector in New Zealand continued to expand at an accelerated pace in June, the latest survey from Business NZ showed on Thursday, with a Performance of Manufacturing Index score of 55.2.
That was up from the upwardly revised 52.0 in May (originally 51.5), and it moved further above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.
The June reading marked the first increase in four months, spurred by gains in new orders and production.
