PMI for Eurozonen fra Markit – læs hele meddelelsen her
“The eurozone economy started the fourth quarter pointing to a quarterly GDP growth rate of just under 0.1%. The manufacturing downturn remains the fiercest since 2012, and continues to infect the service sector, where October saw the smallest increase in
new work for almost five years.
“The labour market is meanwhile being hit as firms retrench amid signs of excess capacity and uncertainty about the year ahead intensifies. Optimism about future prospects deteriorated further in October to the lowest for over six years, commonly linked to global trade tensions, Brexitrelated worries and increasingly gloomy economic forecasts.
“A further deterioration in jobs growth adds to the risk that the trade-led weakening is spreading further to the household sector, which could dampen growth further as we head towards the end of the year. The survey indicates that Mario Draghi’s tenure at the helm of the ECB ends on a note of near-stalled GDP, slower jobs growth, near-stagnant prices and
growing pessimism about the outlook, piling pressure on Christine Lagarde to drive new
solutions to the eurozone’s renewed malaise.
