Indonesia Manufacturing Grows for First Time in 6 Months
The IHS Markit Indonesia Manufacturing PMI rose to 50.8 in August 2020 from 46.9 in the prior month. This was the first growth in the sector since February, as business operations continued to recover amid an easing of COVID-19 restrictions, with both output and new orders rising at the fastest rates in just over six years. Meantime, export sales fell markedly again, as global demand remained subdued. Also, firms continued to reduce purchasing activity and employment, amid efforts to control costs. The level of backlogs dropped further, signaling that spare capacity had persisted. On the price front, input cost inflation quickened due to higher prices for raw materials and an unfavorable exchange rate. Meantime, selling prices rose modestly. Finally, confidence strengthened to a 15-month high on hopes of the return to more normal market conditions.

Indonesia Manufacturing Downturn Eases
The IHS Markit Indonesia Manufacturing PMI rose to 46.9 in July 2020 from 39.1 a month earlier. This was the fifth straight month of contraction in factory activity but at the weakest pace in the sequence, amid relaxed COVID-19 containment measures. Output dropped at a noticeably slower rate, while the downturn in new orders was marginal. At the same time, the rate of job cuts eased, amid rising spare capacity. Meanwhile, export sales fell substantially as global demand remained weak. Firms continued to cut back on their purchasing activity, preferring instead to tap into current inventories. Supply chains remained under pressure, with ongoing virus-related restrictions. On the price front, cost burdens rose sharply, with inflation driven by a weaker rupiah and rising prices for input materials. The increase in expenses was partially passed on to customers via higher selling prices. Finally, confidence remained elevated on hopes of the return to more normal market conditions.

Indonesia Manufacturing PMI
The IHS Markit Indonesia Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index measures the performance of the manufacturing sector and is derived from a survey of 400 manufacturing companies. The Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index is based on five individual indexes with the following weights: New Orders (30 percent), Output (25 percent), Employment (20 percent), Suppliers’ Delivery Times (15 percent) and Stock of Items Purchased (10 percent), with the Delivery Times index inverted so that it moves in a comparable direction. A reading above 50 indicates an expansion of the manufacturing sector compared to the previous month; below 50 represents a contraction; while 50 indicates no change.
