Indonesia’s PMI March 2025

According to the latest report from S&P Global Market Intelligence, Indonesia’s manufacturing sector showed continued expansion in March, with the Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) rising to 52.4. A PMI above 50 indicates an overall improvement in business conditions compared to the previous month.

This positive trend reflects ongoing growth in production activity, marking the second-fastest rate of increase in the past five months. The expansion was supported by a rise in new orders, which some firms attributed to improved marketing strategies and the acquisition of new clients. Notably, international demand for Indonesian-manufactured goods also strengthened, registering growth for the third time in the past four months
