Britain's decision to leave the EU has led to a "dramatic deterioration" in economic activity, not seen since the aftermath of the financial crisis.
英国脱欧已导致经济活动“急剧恶化”,其严重程度为金融危机余波以来之最。
Data from IHS Markit's Purchasing Managers' Index, or PMI, shows a fall to 47.7 in July, the lowest level since April in 2009. A reading below 50 indicates contraction.
研究机构IHS Markit数据显示,7月份英国采购经理人指数或PMI降至47.7,为2009年4月以来的最低水平。该指数降至50以下则意味着经济萎缩。
The report surveyed more than 650 services companies, from sectors including transport, business services, computing and restaurants. It asked them: "Is the level of business activity at your company higher, the same or lower than one month ago?" It also asked manufacturers whether production had gone up or down.
这份报告调查了650多家服务业公司,涉及到交通运输、商业服务、计算机和餐饮业。这些公司需回答“贵公司商业活动与一个月前相比较为活跃,保持不变,抑或有所减弱?”调查中还询问了制造商的生产水平是上升了还是下降了。
Record slump
创纪录的下跌
Chris Williamson, chief economist at IHS Markit, said the downturn had been "most commonly attributed in one way or another to 'Brexit'." "The only other times we have seen this index fall to these low levels, was the global financial crisis in 2008/9, the bursting of the dot com bubble, and the 1998 Asian financial crisis," Mr Williamson told the BBC.
