Activity in China's factory and services sectors swung into negative territory in March, an official survey showed on Thursday, contracting simultaneously for the first time since the peak of the country's COVID-19 outbreak in 2020.
The official manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index fell to 49.5 from 50.2 in February, the National Bureau of Statistics said, while the non-manufacturing PMI eased to 48.4 from 51.6 in February.
The last time both PMI indexes simultaneously were below the 50-point mark that separates contraction from growth was in February 2020, when China was grappling with the initial outbreak of the new coronavirus.The world's second-largest economy revved up in the first two months of 2022, with some key indicators blowing past expectations.
"Recently, clusters of epidemic outbreaks have occurred in many places in China, and coupled with a significant increase in global geopolitical instability, production and operation of Chinese enterprises have been affected," said Zhao Qinghe, senior NBS statistician. The falls below the 50-point threshold clearly shows the overall level of China's economic activity has declined, Zhao said in a statement accompanying the data release.
