PMI for Eurozonen- læs hele meddelelsen her
The Eurozone economy remained close to stagnant for a third successive month in November, according to the flash PMI, losing growth momentum slightly again as new orders fell for a third straight month. The survey showed signs of the steep ongoing manufacturing decline spreading further to services. Employment growth meanwhile slipped to the lowest for almost five years as firms took an increasingly cautious approach to hiring.
Price pressures also cooled further, running at the lowest for over three years. At 50.3 in November, the ‘flash’ IHS Markit Eurozone Composite PMI® fell from 50.6 in October
to signal the second-smallest expansion of output across manufacturing and services since the current upturn began in July 2013. The past three months have consequently seen a continual nearstagnation of output, contrasting markedly with robust growth seen over the same period one year ago.
The eurozone economy remained becalmed for a third successive month in November, with the lacklustre PMI indicative of GDP growing at a quarterly rate of just 0.1%, down from 0.2% in the third quarter. Manufacturing remains in its deepest downturn for
six years amid ongoing trade woes, and November saw further signs of the weakness spilling over to services, notably via slower employment growth.
“Resilient jobs growth had provided a key support to the more domestically-focused service sector earlier in the year, but with employment now rising at its slowest pace since early-2015, it’s not surprising to see the service sector now also struggling. “Tentative signs of life in the core eurozone countries of France and Germany are welcome news, as is an easing in the manufacturing downturn, but a fresh concern is that the rest of the
region has slipped into decline for the first time since 2013.
