PMI fra Markit for Tyskland – læs hele meddelelsen her
“Manufacturing production in Germany took a considerable
hit in March, falling to the greatest extent for nearly 11 years.
Furthermore, there’s scope for the numbers to get even worse
before they get better, as most containment measures and
factory shutdowns happened either during or after the survey
data were collected [12-24 March].
“Investment goods producers were the biggest losers in terms
of both output and new orders. While there can be no winners
from the current situation, the data did show a relatively
resilient performance across the consumer goods segment,
where the survey found an increase in employment.
“Overall staffing capacity was reduced drastically in March,
although the availability of supplementary short-time working
payments should help soften the blow to incomes.
“When trying to gauge the severity of the impact of the
COVID-19 crisis on manufacturing, it’s important at the moment
not to read too much into the headline PMI, which is still being
supported by rapidly increasing supplier delivery times.”
