The S&P Global Myanmar Manufacturing PMI dropped to a three-month low of 48.2 in June 2022 from 49.9 a month earlier. This was the second straight month of contraction in the manufacturing sector, amid lingering political uncertainty as well as material and electricity shortages. Output and new orders both shrank at faster rates; purchasing levels dropped the most since September 2021, on rising raw material prices; and the rate of job creation softened to a seven-month low. Meantime, suppliers’ delivery times lengthened at a near record pace, amid reports that levels of unfinished work increased for the twentieth straight month. In terms of prices, firms commented that a variety of inputs had risen in cost, such as raw materials and transport, which was partially passed on to customers in the form of higher selling prices. Finally, sentiment weakened, linked to worries over the downturn across the manufacturing sector. source: Markit Economics
