PMIindeksejä

PMIindeksejä, which translates to Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) in English, are economic indicators that provide an early snapshot of the health of manufacturing and services sectors. These indices are compiled based on surveys of purchasing managers in a range of industries. Respondents are asked about their views on key business conditions such as new orders, production, employment, and supplier deliveries.

The PMI is a composite index, meaning it is calculated from a weighted average of several survey components. A reading above 50 generally indicates expansion in the sector, while a reading below 50 suggests contraction. A reading of exactly 50 indicates no change. Different countries and regions publish their own PMI data, often on a monthly basis, making them a widely watched tool for economists, investors, and policymakers to gauge economic activity. The Finnish PMI, for instance, is a key indicator for the Finnish economy.
