Istanbul Chamber of Industry (ICI) published February 2023 Report on the developments in the Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) in the World.

In the Manufacturing PMI survey conducted in 31 national economies, the number of countries posting above the no-change mark of 50.0 increased to 17 in February from 12 in January. The performances of the manufacturing sector of the North America, Europe and South America remained weak in comparison to Asia.
