The manufacturing has been slowing in China last year as the rest of the global economy weakened. In December, this sector of the Chinese economy fell in contraction since the PMI indicator fell below the 50 level, as the report released in January showed. It weakened further in January, with the Chinese Manufacturing PMI indicator falling to 49.5 points. We saw a further contraction in February to 49.2 points. Although, in March this sector came back to expansion with the PMI indicator jumping to 50.5 points which improved the sentiment in financial markets. Although it slowed down to 50.1 points again in April, which is very close to contraction and in May it fell to 49.4 point, where it remained during June as well. It improved slightly in July, but it fell to 49.5 points in August, so manufacturing continues to remain in contraction.
