As per the latest data released on November 20, 2025, the index rose to 8, up from 6 in October 2025. This positive shift indicates a strengthening in the regional manufacturing sector.
The Composite Index is a crucial barometer, providing insights into the health of the manufacturing sector in the Tenth Federal Reserve District, which includes Kansas City and surrounding areas. This uptick suggests that businesses in the region are experiencing favorable economic conditions, likely driven by increases in production, firming demand, or improvements in supply chain dynamics.
This recent update follows a consistent period of stability seen in October and reflects the gradual, yet steady, growth in the regional economy.
