Kinesiske fabrikker boomer mens Japans er i revers

Produsenter i Asias to største økonomier presterer svært forskjellig etter pandemien, melder BBC News.

Fabrikkaktiviteten i Kina økte i februar med det raskeste tempoet på mer enn et tiår, viser offisielle tall. Imidlertid, i Japan Produksjonsaktiviteten krympet i februar med det raskeste tempoet på over to år.

China's manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) rose to 52.6 from 50.1 in January, according to China's National Bureau of Statistics. It was the highest monthly reading since April 2012.

China's much better-than-expected performance came after the strict Coronavirus measures in the world's second largest economy were eased late last year. The country saw one of its worst years in nearly half a century in 2022 due to widespread lockdowns and outbreaks of COVID-19.

Meanwhile, in Japan private manufacturing PMI fell to 47.7 in February from January's 48.9, marking the fastest fall since September 2020.

The data underscored the major issues faced by businesses in the country — which is the world's third largest economy — including a global slowdown, the soaring cost of raw materials and calls for firms to raise wages for their workers to help ease a cost-of-living crisis.
