A private survey of business activity in China’s services sector fell to its lowest level in eight months in August, as a flurry of economic stimulus measures seemed unable to reignite consumption demand.
The Caixin China general services purchasing managers index slipped to 51.8 last month from 54.1 in July, according to data released Tuesday by Caixin Media and S&P Global. A reading above 50 indicates expansion, while anything below that level shows contraction. “The slowdown in business activity coincided with a weaker increase in overall new business. New orders increased modestly, and at a pace that was below the average seen for 2023 to date,” Caixin and S&P said in a statement.
The result was largely in line with the official August PMI data released last week by the National Bureau of Statistics , which showed slowing demand for services. The sub-index for the services industry, the biggest source of employment for younger people, fell to the lowest level last month since January, according to the NBS, and was far below pre-pandemic levels. Compared to the official survey, the Caixin/S&P gauge focuses on smaller businesses and private companies.
