BEIJING, Nov. 30 (Xinhua) -- The purchasing managers' index (PMI) for China's non-manufacturing sector came in at 56.4 in November, up from 56.2 in October, the National Bureau of Statistics said Monday.
A reading above 50 indicates expansion, while a reading below 50 reflects contraction.
The non-manufacturing PMI has remained above 50 for nine consecutive months, data from the NBS showed.
In November, the service sector continued to accelerate its pace of recovery, with the sub-index for business activities expanding to 55.7 from 55.5 in the previous month.
Thanks to the country's targeted and timely measures against COVID-19, the consumer market recovered in an orderly manner, and the service sector rebounded steadily, said NBS senior statistician Zhao Qinghe.
A breakdown of the data showed the sub-indexes for business activities of rail transportation, civil aviation and finance remained above 60, Zhao added.
The construction industry continued its robust growth, as the sub-index for business activities stood at 60.5, up from 59.8 in October.
