Nigeria Non Manufacturing PMI
The Composite Non-Manufacturing PMI measures the performance of the non manufacturing sector and is derived from a survey of purchasing and supply executives from 13 locations in Nigeria. The survey shows the change, if any, in the current month compared with the previous month and is presented as an average of: production level (25 percent of weight), new orders (30 percent), supplier deliveries (15 percent) and employment level and inventories (20 percent). A reading above 50 indicates an expansion of the private sector activity compared to the previous month; below 50 represents a contraction; while 50 indicates no change.
