“During the depths of the recession, the headline PMI figure for the dominant service sector … was a key indicator to highlight the impending severity of the recession in the immediate aftermath of the collapse of Lehman Brothers in late 2008. The PMI has also been very quick off the mark in heralding recovery.” Gráinne Gilmore, The Times, January 2010
“If you were to put me on a desert island and ask me to name one number it would be the PMI.” Malcolm Barr, JPMorgan, June 2009
“It makes perfect sense for HSBC to create this powerful economic indicator … The first ever HSBC Emerging Markets Index [based on PMI data] shows that emerging markets continue to power growth in the global economy.”Michael Geoghegan, Group Chief Executive, HSBC, October 2009
