PMI

Certifies project professionals

PMI stands for Purchasing Managers' Index, an economic indicator measuring business conditions in manufacturing and services sectors.

A reading above 50 signals expansion, below 50 signals contraction: The PMI fell to 48, suggesting the economy is slowing.

PMI also stands for private mortgage insurance, required when a homebuyer puts down less than 20 percent: Once you reach 20 percent equity, you can cancel your PMI.
