In June 2011, RBC, in association with Markit,
a leading, global financial information services company,
and the Purchasing
Management Association of Canada (PMAC), launched the
monthly RBC Canadian Manufacturing Purchasing Managers'
Index™ (RBC PMI™), a comprehensive and early
indicator of trends in the Canadian manufacturing sector.
The RBC PMI will be released on the first business day of
each month.
In addition to the headline RBC PMI - a composite indicator
designed to provide a single-figure snapshot of the health
of the manufacturing sector - the survey also tracks changes
in output, new orders, employment, inventories, prices and
supplier delivery times. Index readings above 50.0 signal
expansion from the previous month, readings below 50.0 indicate
contraction.
