S&P Global earlier reported that the country’s manufacturing PMI slipped to 47.4 in November, the worst performance since August 2021.
PMI is a barometer of manufacturing activity, with a reading below 50 indicating contraction and a reading above 50 signaling expansion.
“The government delivers a lot of public goods and public services, and most of these can make use of locally produced products,” noted Edillon.
