This month's economic indicators are going to be unusual
from Die ekonomie minuut · host Waldo Krugell
Economists know that May's economic indicators are going to be unusual. Last May we were in the middle of the level 5 lockdown and people were running backyard marathons. Anything is a huge improvement if you compare it to nothing. It is therefore much better to compare with just the past month. One such figure released today is the ABSA's Purchasing Managers' Index for the manufacturing sector.
