The Zhitong Finance App learned that the S&P Global Hong Kong Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for December fell to 51.9 from 52.9 last month. The figure was higher than 50 for 5 consecutive months (that is, in the expansion range), reflecting an improvement in the business environment in Hong Kong. Output volume and new orders continued to rise in December. Although the increase was narrower than the previous month, it was still significant. The company's new sales from both local and overseas markets have increased, reflecting a broad-based increase in customer demand. On the other hand, the backlog of orders expanded for the first time in a year, and price data showed a further significant increase in investment costs, causing production and sales prices to rise to the highest level in more than two years.
