PMI for Eurozonen fra Markit – læs hele meddelelsen her:
“The eurozone’s manufacturing economy missed a beat at the start of the year. Having accelerated for three straight months, the rate of growth slipped from the 20-month high attained at the end of 2015.
Growth of order books, exports and output all slowed. “If the slowdown in business activity wasn’t enough to worry policymakers, prices charged by producers fell at the fastest rate for a year to spur further concern about deflation becoming ingrained. “The survey data signal an annual rate of growth of manufacturing output of just 1.5% at the start of the year.
As such, the data are likely to add to pressure on the ECB to expand the central bank’s stimulus programme as soon as March. “Growth slowed in Germany, Italy and the Netherlands and stagnated in both France and Greece, but Spain, Ireland and Austria all bucked the slowdown trend, with Spain regaining top spot for the first time since last January 2005.”
