Monthly Industrial PMI Exceeds 12% to Distance From Threshold

The Purchasing Managers’ Index for Iranian industries in the current fiscal year’s eighth month (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) settled at 57.11 from 50.83 in the preceding month (Sept. 23-Oct. 22), indicating a 12.35% increase, the Statistics and Economic Analysis Center of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture reported. 
The PMI is locally known by its Farsi acronym Shamekh.
PMI is an indicator of economic health for manufacturing and services sectors. It provides information about current business conditions to companies’ decision-makers, analysts and purchasing managers. 
The headline PMI is a number from 0 to 100. A PMI above 50 represents an expansion when compared with the previous month. A PMI reading under 50 represents a contraction and a reading at 50 indicates no change. The further away from 50, the greater the level of change.
