4月份，制造业采购经理指数（PMI）再次回到临界点以下。 4月30日，国家统计局服务业调查中心和中国物流与采购联合会发布的数据显示，4月份，制造业采购经理 指数为49.0%，比上月下降1.5个百分点；非制造业商务活动指数和综合PMI产出指数分别为50.4%和 50.2%，继续保持在扩张区间。 高技术制造业延续较好发展态势 制造业采购经理指数是重要的经济先行指标。 所谓采购经理指数，是通过对企业采购经理的月度调查结果统计汇总、编制而成的指数，它涵盖了企业采 购、生产、流通等各个环节，包括制造业和非制造业领域，是国际上通用的监测宏观经济走势的先行性指 数之一，具有较强的预测、预警作用，其变化往往预示着经济的拐点。PMI数值高于50%通常表示经济扩 张，而低于50%则通常意味着经济收缩。 4月份制造业PMI为49.0%，回落至临界点以下，且比上月下降1.5个百分点。 对此，国家统计局服务业调查中心高级统计师赵庆河指出，是"受前期制造业较快增长形成较高基数叠加 外部环境急剧变化等因素影响"。 今年一季度，我国GDP同比增长5.4%，不仅高于去年全国5%的增速，也高于去年一季度5.3%的增速，在 全球主要经济体中名列前 ...
