The manufacturing sector in New Zealand continued to expand in September, and at a faster pace, the latest survey from Business NZ revealed on Thursday with a PMI score of 57.7.
That's up from 55.2 in August, and it moves further above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.
Individually, production, finished stocks, new orders and deliveries were all firmly in expansion territory.
The employment sub-index bounced out of contraction with a score of 50.3.
