The purchasing manager’s index for the manufacturing sector edged up to 50.5 from 50.4 in November. A reading above 50 suggests growth in the sector. In October, the score was 50.5.
The PMI for the electronics sector also added a 0.1 point to reach 51.2 in December. The sector grew for the fifth month in a row and the reading was the highest since September 2018, when it was 51.4.
