3月份中國官方製造業PMI爲50.2

The official manufacturing PMI came in at 50.2 in March, versus economists’ expectations of 49.4. It was 49 in February. Any reading above 50 signals expansion – something Chinese manufacturers surveyed have not reported for eight months.

3月份，中國官方製造業購經理指數(PMI)爲50.2，而經濟學家的預期爲49.4，2月份的讀數則爲49。讀數高於50，代表製造業活動處於擴張之中。此前，中國製造業活動已連續8個月未呈現擴張了。

For services the PMI was 53.8, compared to 52.7 in February. The services sector traditionally does a little better.

3月份的中國服務業PMI爲53.8，比2月份的52.7也要高一些。中國服務業的表現歷來要比製造業好一些。

The component monitoring new export orders was positive, at 50.2. Earlier this week a China business survey conducted by FT Confidential Research (FTCR), a research unit owned by the Financial Times, reported that resurgent sales in the real estate sector had boosted the Chinese economy in March. Ongoing monetary easing and increasing government investment on infrastructure may have also helped.

關注新出口訂單的子項的讀數爲50.2，也處於擴張區間。本週早些時候，英國《金融時報》旗下研究部門《投資參考》(FT Confidential Research)對中國企業展開的一項調查顯示，3月份房地產銷售的復甦對中國經濟起到了提振作用。正在實施的貨幣放鬆以及政府對基礎建設日益加大的投資，可能對經濟也起到了幫助作用。
