Storyline: China's manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) has seen a wide-ranging recovery in June, boosted by favorable performance of high-end manufacturing and equipment manufacturing, and steady expansion of large-scale enterprises, according to competent government authorities on Monday. China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) and the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (CFLP) jointly announced that China's manufacturing sector PMI came in at 49.7 in June, up 0.2 percentage point from May. For specific sectors, the PMI for equipment manufacturing reached 51.4 percent, up 0.2 percentage point from last month. Both its production index and new orders index remained above 53 percent. The PMI for high-tech manufacturing stood at 50.9 percent, holding steady from the previous month, with its production and new orders indices hovering around 52 percent. Overall, supply and demand in new growth-driving sectors continued a healthy momentum. Stimulated by a series of consumption-boosting policies, consumer goods manufacturing has also posted steady increase so far in June. Data show that the consumer goods PMI in June was 50.4 percent, with a month-on-month increase of 0.2 percentage point. Operation of the basic raw materials sector has seen a faster increase at 0.8 percent, ending three months of decline. Computed by the size of enterprises, large enterprises continued to expand, with accelerating momentum. Their PMI in June has reached 51.2 percent, up 0.5 percentage point from the previous month. Meanwhile, the PMI for medium-sized enterprises has risen by 1.1 percentage points from the previous month, ending two months of decline.
