JAKARTA — Indonesia’s manufacturing sector has recorded a strong start to 2025 despite gloomy news from much of the rest of the economy, according to a closely watched survey of purchasing managers.
Indonesia’s manufacturing PMI index has been consistently positive since the start of the year, according to the monthly surveys by S&P Global. The sector has been buoyed by increased domestic demand, as well as a rush to fill orders ahead of expected U.S. tariffs.
