In October 2024, the value of the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) in the United States stood at 46.5. An indicator of the economic health of the manufacturing sector, the Purchasing Managers' Index is based on five major indicators: new orders, inventory levels, production, supplier deliveries and the employment environment. An index value above 50 percent indicates a positive development in the manufacturing sector, whereas a value below 50 percent indicates a negative situation.

In October 2024, the value of the Service Purchasing Managers' Index in the United States stood at 56. An indicator of the economic health of the service sector, the Services Purchasing Managers' Index is based on four major indicators: business activity, new orders, employment, and supplier deliveries. An index value above 50 percent indicates a positive development in the service sector, whereas a value below 50 percent indicates a negative situation. Purchasing Managers' Index The Purchasing Manager's Index is a strong indicator of an economic sector's health. The PMI is based on a survey that is sent to more than 400 companies in 19 primary industries, which are weighted by their overall contribution to the nation's GDP. The industries are organized into economic sectors to construct a PMI relevant to each sector, such as construction being in the manufacturing sector. In 2021, the construction industry added 958.8 billion U.S. dollars to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the United States. A high contribution to the GDP by an industry generally helps increase the value of the sector's PMI. As of April 2024, the manufacturing PMI indicated a negative situation at 49.2. The Service Sector The service sector, or tertiary sector, is the section of the economy that deals with the production of services rather than the production of goods or extraction of materials. Within the service sector are many industries such as banking and financial services, construction, education, transportation, hospitality, communication, real estate, information technology, legal services, and more. Unlike the Manufacturing PMI, the Service PMI is based on only four major indicators: business activity, new orders, employment, and supplier deliveries. As a sector that largely relies on human interaction, the service sector was particularly affected by the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. However, the Services Employment Index, which shows the employment indicator of the Service PMI, was trending upwards over the summer months of 2022. As of March 2023 the SEI decreased to 51.3.

In February 2025, the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) in China resided at about 50.2 percent. An indicator of the economic health of the manufacturing sector, the PMI is based on five major indicators: new orders, inventory levels, production, supplier deliveries, and the employment environment. An index value above 50 percent indicates a positive development in the industrial sector, whereas a value below 50 percent indicates a negative situation. The PMI as a major economic indicator The Purchasing Managers' Index was first introduced by the US-based Institute of Supply Management in 1948. It has become one of the most widely used and closely watched indicators of business activities worldwide. The PMI is not only an apt indicator for manufacturing growth, it also supports interest rate decisions of central bank institutions. PMI figures around the globe were dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In the Euro area, the PMI recovered from a considerable drop in April 2020, regaining pre-crisis level in June. In the United States, the monthly PMI indicated an even better improvement from low values in April and March. Recent PMI development in China As is shown in the graph at hand, the PMI of China as the world’s second-largest economy dropped considerably in February 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. In March, the index indicated a striking rebound and ranged at a level slightly above 50 index points afterwards. During 2021, the index was characterized by a slightly downward trend. In 2022, the index displayed an unstable development with two significant dips in April and December, finally concluding with a strong rebound in January 2023. The non-manufacturing PMI in China displayed a similar development.

This Malaria Behavior Survey (MBS) dataset includes representative data on the determinants of malaria-related behaviors from urban and rural areas in North Region and Far North Region in Cameroon, collected between September 5 and October 1, 2019. The goal of this study was two-fold: 1) to provide a better understanding of the socio-demographic, attitudinal, and normative characteristics (also referred to as ideational characteristics) associated with malaria-related behavioral outcomes in the North and Far North regions of Cameroon; and 2) determine the appropriate focus of programmatic activities designed to improve malaria-related ideational and behavioral outcomes. This study used a cross-sectional survey design with a random sample of women and men using structured questionnaires. Respondents were selected through a multi-step cluster random sampling approach. The research team collected relevant information from 2,756 households. The complete Household dataset exceeds the capacity of the DDL to upload as one file. Therefore, it was split into two parts of less than 500 variables each. The first variable in each dataset – obsids (observation ID) – can be used to join the two parts.
