Introduction
The June 2019 PMI survey was conducted by the
Statistics Department of the Central Bank of Nigeria during the period June
10-14, 2019. The respondents were purchasing and supply executives of
manufacturing and non-manufacturing organizations in all 36 states in Nigeria
and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). The Bank makes no representation
regarding the individual companies, other than the information they have
provided. The data contained herein further provides input for policy
decisions.
Data and Method of Presentation
The Manufacturing and Non-Manufacturing PMI Report
on businesses is based on survey responses, indicating the changes in the level
of business activities in the current month compared with the preceding month.
For each of the indicators measured, this report shows the diffusion index of
the responses. The diffusion index is computed as the percentage of responses
with positive change plus half of the percentage of those reporting no change,
except for supplier delivery time, which is computed as the percentage of
responses with negative change plus half of the percentage of those reporting
no change. The composite PMI for the manufacturing sector is computed as the
weighted average of five diffusion indices, namely: production level, level of
new orders, suppliers’ delivery time, employment level and raw materials
inventory/work in progress, with assigned weights of 25%, 30%, 15%, 10% and
20%, respectively. The composite PMI for the non-manufacturing sector is
computed from four diffusion indices, namely: business activity, level of new
orders, employment level and raw materials inventory, with equal weights of 25%
each.
A composite PMI above 50 points indicates that the
manufacturing/non-manufacturing economy is generally expanding, 50 points
indicates no change and below 50 points indicates that it is generally
contracting. The subsectors reporting growth are listed in the order of highest
to lowest growth, while those reporting contraction are listed in the order of
the highest to the lowest contraction
