Australian Manufacturing is Growing

It is official. For the past three months Australian Manufacturing has grown each month. This has been confirmed by both AMTIL and Manufacturers’ Monthly.

 

This is in spite of weak demand in the metals sector. It is good to see some resilience showing as the manufacturing sectors diversify.
