Economic calendar in Asia for Tuesday, 31 May 2022 - China PMIs for May

Its a packed data agenda ahead for the Asia - Pacific session. The PMI indicators from China for May are the focus. Given the lockdowns in place in many economically critical cities in China the May PMIs are not expected to be strong. I posted a preview of these earlier, here:

• an aggregate index of 8 economic indicators show China's economy "remained deep in a slump in May".

Looking ahead, improvements should begin with emergence from lockdowns progressing:

• China coronavirus - lockdown restrictions slowly being eased back in Beijing, Shanghai

• Over the weekend Shanghai revealed a 50 item plan to help revive the city's economy
• Shanghai to resume basic operations for bus, rail transport from 1 June
