-- 受中东战乱影响,菲律宾制造业在4月份转为萎缩,原因是采购活动、新订单和员工人数均有所下降。 标普全球菲律宾制造业采购经理人指数(PMI)4月份录得48.3,而3月份为51.3(扩张期)。 PMI高于50表示扩张,低于50表示萎缩。 由于新订单下降,该指标自去年11月以来首次跌至负值。 标普表示,由于贸易路线关闭导致航运中断,消费者犹豫不决,新出口订单暴跌至2020年年中以来的最低水平。 标普全球市场情报经济学家玛丽亚姆·巴卢奇表示,出口市场需求恶化也拖累了新销售额。 该机构在其报告中指出:“新销售额的下降导致菲律宾制造商4月份的生产水平停滞不前。” 据《菲律宾星报》4月16日报道,菲律宾出口商联合会的一项调查显示,由于服装、食品、手工艺品和家具行业的订单短缺,出口商已将每周工作天数从六天减少到最短三天。 标普表示,由于本月“小幅”裁员,员工人数有所下降。 标普称,由于新订单减少以及投入和运输价格上涨,菲律宾制造商已转向库存以满足生产需求。 尽管存在短缺,但由于投资者对不断增长的客户群和潜在需求趋势的改善持乐观态度,商业信心升至17个月以来的最高点。
