Global economic growth stuck at three-year low as manufacturing falls into decline
The following is an extract from IHS Markit's monthly PMI overview presentation. For the full report please click on the link at the bottom of the article.
The pace of global economic growth remained stuck at a three-year low in June, according to the latest PMI surveys from IHS Markit, rounding off the worst quarterly expansion since the second quarter of 2016. The JPMorgan Global PMI™, compiled by IHS Markit, held steady at 51.2 in June, signalling the slowest rate of expansion of global output since June 2016 during the past two months. The survey data are consistent with worldwide GDP rising at an annual pace of approximately 1.8% (at market prices) in the second quarter, down from 2.4% in the first quarter.
Both the PMI and official GDP data indicate that the pace of global economic growth peaked at 2.9% at the end of 2017 and has since slowed gradually, led by a steady weakening of worldwide trade flows. New export orders fell globally for a seventh successive month, with the rate of decline accelerating to indicate the steepest drop in worldwide trade since May 2016.
