中國5月“PMI”略高于50 全球市場愁眉不展（中級）

官方發(fā)布，中國5月制造業(yè)PMI下降到50.4，低于之前不少經(jīng)濟學(xué)家預(yù)測的52。該數(shù)據(jù)僅僅是剛過經(jīng)濟強弱分界點50。

China's official PMI in manufacturing sector fell to 50.4, which was lower than 52 expected by economists. It's also just marginally above that key breakeven level of 50.

分析:

上述新聞中的“PMI(Purchase Management Index)”意思是“采購經(jīng)理人指數(shù)”，是通過對企業(yè)采購經(jīng)理的月度調(diào)查結(jié)果統(tǒng)計匯總、編制而成的指數(shù)，它涵蓋了企業(yè)采購、生產(chǎn)、流通等各個環(huán)節(jié)，是國際上通用的監(jiān)測宏觀經(jīng)濟走勢的先行性指數(shù)之一，具有較強的預(yù)測、預(yù)警作用。PMI通常以50%作為經(jīng)濟強弱的分界點，PMI高于50%時，反映制造業(yè)經(jīng)濟擴張;低于50%，則反映制造業(yè)經(jīng)濟收縮。

CPI(消費物價指數(shù))和PMI的區(qū)別：簡單說來CPI與居民生活有關(guān)的產(chǎn)品及勞務(wù)價格統(tǒng)計出來的物價變動指標(biāo)，而PMI反應(yīng)的是某個國家某個行業(yè)的經(jīng)濟變化趨勢。CPI連續(xù)上漲會引發(fā)通脹，而PMI 上漲則說明經(jīng)濟內(nèi)在動力強勁。
