Country comparison

Services PMI (NMI) by Country

The Services / Non-Manufacturing PMI surveys purchasing managers in the services sector — banks, retailers, transport, hospitality — on the same diffusion-index basis as the manufacturing PMI. Above 50 indicates expansion; below 50 contraction.

Why compare Services PMI (NMI) across countries?

Services dominate GDP and employment in most advanced economies, so the services PMI is often a more economically meaningful read than its more famous manufacturing sibling. It also captures wage-sensitive activity, making it a useful leading indicator for services inflation and therefore for the central bank's rate path.

How to read the country list

Track the services PMI against manufacturing PMI to spot divergences — a strong services / weak manufacturing combination has been the dominant pattern across developed markets in recent years. Prices and employment sub-indices are the key feed-throughs to CPI and the labour market.
