Perspective

“The results of the IMEF Indicator confirm that the improvement in economic activity continued during June, but at a slower pace than in the previous month. Given the upward and downward variations that the manufacturing and non-manufacturing indicators have shown in recent months, the trend-cycle series are useful to infer the direction of economic activity in the short term, «said the Institute in its report. monthly.

For its part, the IMEF Non-Manufacturing Indicator registered a 0.5 point decrease in June to close at 53.8 units and remain in the expansion zone for the fourth month.

The IMEF Indicator ranges from 0 to 100 points and the level of 50 points represents the threshold between an expansion (junior to 50) and a contraction (less than 50) of economic activity.

In principle, when the index is above the threshold, an increase is interpreted as a sign of a more rapid future expansion; when the index is below the threshold, an increase is interpreted as a sign of a slower future contraction.

However, the indicator does not provide specific information on the magnitude of the expected changes.
