KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City released the April Manufacturing Survey today. According to Megan Williams, associate economist and survey manager, the survey revealed that Tenth District manufacturing activity declined modestly, and expectations for future activity eased somewhat but remained positive.
“Regional factory activity continued to decrease in April and price levels rose further,” said Williams. “However, expectations for future activity still remained slightly positive.”
A summary of the April survey is below. The April survey incorporates new seasonal adjustment factors using Census X-13 ARIMA-SEATS, so historical indexes differ slightly from previously released numbers. The new seasonal factors will be used throughout 2025.
