南非 1 月份制造业活动大幅下滑，经季节调整的采购经理指数 (PMI) 从 12 月份的 50.9 跌至 43.6 点。 South African manufacturing activity experienced a significant slump in January, as the seasonally-adjusted Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) dropped to 43.6 points from 50.9 in December. 这是自 2020 年 5 月以来的最低水平，低于区分扩张和收缩的 50 点大关。 This marks the lowest level since May 2020 and is below the 50-point mark, which separates expansion from contraction. 活动下降主要归因于新销售订单（需求指标）的急剧下降。 The decline in activity is primarily attributed to a sharp drop in new sales orders, an indicator of demand.
