South Africa’s Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) fell to its lowest level in more than a year in August, but prospects were still positive, sponsor Investec said on Monday. The monthly measure of manufacturing activity dropped to 54,3 from 57,7 in July, largely due to a sharp fall in growth of business activity and slower sales growth.
