The latest #PMIData shows a mixed start to 2026—highlighting both opportunities and challenges for Philippine businesses.

 What's shaping the economy this January?

 Services on the rise (51.29)
Tourism, logistics, finance, and customer-focused industries continue to drive growth.

 Retail and Wholesale rebounds (50.85)
Consumer activity is picking up, signaling renewed confidence in trade and distribution.

 Manufacturing slows down (49.25)
Production faces contraction, reflecting cost pressures and softer demand.

 Think of PMI as a monthly "health check" of the economy—it gives early signals before official data is released.

 With services and trade expanding while manufacturing struggles, 2026 calls for smart planning, adaptability, and resilience.
