The Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) is an indicator for economic activity. It reflects the percentage of purchasing managers surveyed in a particular economic sector who reported better business conditions than in the previous month. A PMI over 50 indicates that the economy is expanding while anything below 50 means that the economy is contracting.
