-- 标普全球报告称,尽管国际需求疲软,印度服务业4月份仍保持强劲扩张。 标普全球援引其月度调查数据指出,经季节性调整的印度服务业采购经理人指数(PMI)4月份升至58.8,高于3月份的57.5,并进一步突破了50荣枯分界线。 标普全球表示,得益于国内需求的增长,印度服务业4月份的扩张速度达到了“去年11月以来的最高水平”。 标普全球报告称,4月份新订单和产出扩张主要由消费服务业引领,其次是交通运输业,然后是信息通信业。 4月份,印度服务业经理人对未来一年的前景持乐观态度。标普全球表示:“印度服务企业对未来12个月的产出增长充满信心。这种乐观情绪源于对需求增长的预测、市场营销举措以及客户咨询量的增加。” 标普全球指出,4月份印度服务业新增就业岗位,原因是“新业务量的增长推动了短期员工和初级实习生的招聘”。 然而,标普全球指出,4月份的乐观情绪较3月份略有下降,“受到中东战争局势的担忧影响”。 标普全球于4月8日至28日期间,对400家服务业企业进行了调查,并据此编制了4月份印度服务业采购经理人指数(PMI)。 此外,标普全球还补充道,印度综合PMI(涵盖服务业和制造业)从3月份的57.0升至4月份的58.2。
