5月匯豐中國服務業PMI大幅走強
Activity in China's services sector expanded for the fourth month in a row in May.
今年5月，中國服務業連續第4個月呈擴張態勢。Compiled by HSBC and Markit, China's services purchasing managers index rose to 53.5 last month, from a reading of 52.9 in April, and remaining above the threshold of 50 that separates expansion from contraction. It was the fastest rate of activity growth in eight months, noted HSBC/Markit.
5月，由匯豐銀行(HSBC)和Markit共同編制的中國服務業PMI上升至53.5，高於4月的52.9，仍然位於榮枯分界線之上。這是8個月來中國服務業擴張速度最快的一次。
There were a number of positive trends from the services industry in May, including an increase in new work (and at its sharpest pace in three years) and service sector employment rising at its fastest pace since January 2013. Backlogs of work at services firms fell for a fourth consecutive month, and confidence toward the services sector remained strong.
5月服務業出現了大量的積極趨勢，包括新崗位（增速爲三年來最高）以及服務業就業人數的增長爲2013年1月以來最快速度。服務業企業的積壓工作連續第4個月減少，行業信心仍然強勁。
That helped to offset the more disappointing picture of manufacturing activity within the month, and kept the so-called composite reading relatively steady at 51.2, from 51.3 in April.
這有利於平衡5月製造業疲弱的負面影響，使得5月中國綜合PMI相對穩定在51.2，4月則爲51.3。Annabel Fiddes, economist at Markit said: Overall, growth momentum appears relatively weak, weighed down by an ongoing deterioration in manufacturing operating conditions, therefore further stimulus measures may be required to keep up with an annual GDP growth target of 7%.
Markit經濟學家安娜貝爾•菲德斯(Annabel Fiddes)表示：“總體上看，在製造業經營狀況持續惡化的影響下，經濟增長勢頭似乎相對較弱，因此中國或許要推出更多刺激政策，才能完成7%的年度GDP增長目標。”
