UK Markit/CIPS Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI®) rose to a 30-month high of 56.1 in December
The UK manufacturing sector ended 2016 on a positive note. Rates of growth for production and new orders in December were among the best seen over the past two-and-a-half years. Companies benefited from stronger inflows of new work from both domestic and overseas clients, the latter aided by the boost to competitiveness from the weak sterling exchange rate.
The seasonally adjusted Markit/CIPS Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI®) rose to a 30-month high of 56.1 in December, up from 53.6 in November and well above its long-run average (51.5). The headline PMI has signalled expansion in each of the past five months. December saw output expanded to meet the needs of stronger new work inflows. Growth of production and new business was broad-based by sector, with strong gains registered across the consumer, intermediate and investment goods industries. However, the increases seen at consumer goods producers were relatively mild in comparison to those seen in the other sectors.
