Amid concerns that global demand for Chinese exports will decrease, the China’s Purchasing Manager’s Index has dropped<\/a><\/strong> for the first time in three months. This drop is the lowest recorded growth in three years.\u00a0BBC reports:<\/p>\n

China’s Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) fell to 50.4 in October from 51.2 in the previous month, the first drop in three months.<\/p>\n

[…] “Future export and investment growth is expected to continue to decline,” said Zhang Liqun of the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Despite earlier reports that the government would regulate inflation and foster growth, analysts predict further drops in manufacturing growth<\/a><\/strong>, imports, and export orders. The Associated Press adds:<\/p>\n

The figure “is consistent with our view that growth is losing steam,” UBS economist Wang Tao said in a report. The weakness in export demand was unsurprising, she said, given the ongoing European debt crisis.<\/p>\n

A similar survey by HSBC showed a contrary trend, with its PMI rising to 51.0 in October from 49.9 the month before. Though it reported an improvement, HSBC said the figure indicated just a “modest rate of growth.”<\/p>\n

The World Bank forecasts that China’s economy will grow a relatively robust 9.3 percent this year. But most economists are forecasting a drop to below 9 percent growth next year, slowed by tight credit aimed at fighting inflation and weak export demand<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
