All five of the headline PMI’s major subcomponents were above the neutral 50-point mark in June. Furthermore, the average reading of both the headline PMI as well as the business activity index during the second quarter was higher than recorded in the first quarter of 2021. This suggest that the sector’s output recovery was maintained in the second quarter, with another quarterly expansion likely.
