According to the S&P Global manufacturing purchasing managers index (PMI), the nation’s manufacturing sector saw an improvement in November performance.

Records indicated that the manufacturing PMI increased from 52.6 last month to 52.7 this month.

A manufacturing sector index above 50 indicates growth, while one below the neutral number indicates a decline.

According to PMI, the increase was caused by improved demand circumstances, which raised output and sales last month at their highest rates since June of this year.

According to S&P Global Market Intelligence analyst Maryam Baluch, “the improvement throughout the sector mostly derived from improved demand conditions that generated higher sales and output.”

According to the data, domestic demand helped Philippine industries in November despite a fall in new orders from international markets since March. However, compared to the decrease in October, the contraction last month was milder.

In November, manufacturers in the Philippines upped their purchases of inputs in expectation of larger orders in the months to come.

The S&P also acknowledged the reduction in backlogs of work as a result of increased production effectiveness.

Manufacturers that were questioned, on the other hand, reported a fall in headcount that put an end to the trend of job growth in May of this year.

According to the S&P analysis, one of the frequent explanations for the decline in workforce numbers was employee resignation.

With input prices rising last month mostly as a result of higher energy costs and peso depreciation, inflationary pressures remained high.

As S&P noticed an increase in output prices, factories passed the rising costs along to customers.

“Since the manufacturing sector has significantly relied on demand to help increase development, the hike in rates, along with the possibility of future possible monetary tightening, could harm customer spending,” Baluch warned.

Manufacturers are still hopeful for the upcoming year, which is frequently attributed to increased customer activity, economic recovery, and businesses starting new initiatives.
