In a recent update from S&P Global, Poland's Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for April has shown a slight dip, reflecting a modest contraction in the country's manufacturing sector. The PMI has decreased from 50.70 in March 2025 to 50.20 in April 2025.
The current figure of 50.20, though still above the neutral 50.0 mark that separates growth from contraction, indicates a slowdown in new orders and output compared to the previous month. This decline, while marginal, suggests cautious sentiment among manufacturers as they navigate challenges in the sector.
Given that PMI is a key indicator of manufacturing health, this adjustment could have implications for economic forecasts and planning within Poland's industrial landscape. The updated figures were released on 02 May 2025, and stakeholders are likely to monitor upcoming data closely for further signals about the sector's trajectory in the coming months.
