China’s services sector experienced a pick-up in activity during May, according to a private-sector survey released on Monday. The Caixin/S&P Global services purchasing managers’ index (PMI) rose to 57.1 in May, up from 56.4 in April. This expansion in the services sector supports China’s consumption-led economic recovery in the second quarter. The survey’s findings differ from the official PMI, which was made public last week and showed a slower rate of increase in the services sector.
