RBC Purchasing Managers' Index

From June 2011 – June 2016, RBC, in association with Markit (opens external website in new window), a leading, global financial information services company, and the Supply Chain Management Association (opens external website in new window) (SCMA), released the monthly RBC Canadian Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index™ (RBC PMI™), a comprehensive and early indicator of trends in the Canadian manufacturing sector. In addition to the headline PMI - a composite indicator designed to provide a single-figure snapshot of the health of the manufacturing sector - the survey also tracked 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.
