Statement from Markit being reported by the good people at MNI 15 July 2016
- Markit said that it would be releasing a Flash PMI for the UK on July 22 at 0830GMT to "help provide clarity on the potential impact of the UK's EU referendum on the economy, and is a response to demand from users".
- the flash release will contain the manufacturing and service components as well as a set of "weighted-composite indices reflecting economic trends across the 2 sectors combined".
- this would be a one off and that there are no plans to produce a flash number on a regular basis.
Top work Markit. You can bet that Carney & Co will be eagerly awaiting the news for their August decision making.
Put the date/time in your diaries.
