Notes
CBSL Data Library, subject 'Prices and Indices', topic 'Purchasing Managers Index'. The Services Business Activity Index is the headline index for Services which is referred to as the ‘PMI - Services’ as per the international best practices, which is comparable to the Manufacturing Production Index and Construction Total Activity Index. From 2026-09-01, days the Data Library does not have are taken from CBSL's monthly PMI press release (1 so far). On the 32 days both have, 32 agree.

Source discrepancies

What the warehouse found when it checked this series: the same figure from two agencies, splice overlaps, published rates against ones recalculated from the index, and outliers.

  • Disagrees with itselfDec 2024

    This series reads 71.1; the same figure from the other source reads 71.7. Compared with LK.IND.PMI_DETAIL.SERVICES_BUSINESS_AC.M.

    Two agencies: 71.7 and 71.1, difference 0.6.

    LK.IND.PMI_DETAIL.SERVICES_BUSINESS_AC.M: PMI survey workbook vs the Data Library

    PMI survey workbook (71.7) vs the Data Library's copy (71.1) for Services Business Activity, 2024-12 only - a 0.6-point gap, just over the 0.5-point tolerance used for the supersede test; every other shared month agrees. A minor one-off between the two CBSL publications, not clustered with anything else.
