The China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) indicates that the Manufacturing Purchasing Manager Survey draws 820 sample companies from national manufacturing companies and conducts monthly surveys of corporate purchasing managers.

The scope of the investigation involves 28 major categories of manufacturing in the National Economic Industry Classification (GB/T4754-2002), and each industry allocates sample enterprises according to their scale.

The questionnaire covered 11 issues including production volume, new orders, export orders, existing orders, finished goods inventory, purchase volume, import, purchase price, raw material inventory, employees, and supplier delivery time. The diffusion index is calculated separately for each question, which is the percentage of the number of companies that are responding positively plus half of the percentage of the answer.

PMI is a composite index calculated by weighting five diffusion indices (category indices). The five sub-indices and their weights are based on their prior impact on the economy. Specifically, it includes: new order index, weight is 30%; production index, weight is 25%; employee index, weight is 20%; supplier delivery time index, weight is 15%; raw material inventory index, right The number is 10%.

PMI is one of the internationally accepted macroeconomic monitoring indicator systems and plays an important role in monitoring and forecasting national economic activities. Usually 50% is the cut-off point of economic strength, PMI is higher than 50%, reflecting the expansion of the manufacturing economy; below 50% reflects the manufacturing recession.
