ブラジル　複合PMI低下　2020年12月

Brazil’s composite Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) decreased slightly to 53.5 in December 2020, from 53.8 in November, reflecting a mixed performance of the two key-sectors: services and manufacturing. The services PMI inched up to 51.1 from 50.9 in November, as companies are more optimistic taking into account the immunization campaigns.

The manufacturing PMI, on the other hand, fell to 61.5 in December, from 64 in November, driven by raw materials shortage due to the supply chains disruption between March and June 2020. Both indexes are above the threshold of 50, which means that business activities in Brazil are recovering broadly.
