PMI Tyskland fra Markit – læs hele meddelelsen her
Oliver Kolodseike, Economist at Markit and author of the Flash Germany PMI® , said: “A first look at today’s survey results is encouraging, as output growth accelerated for the first time in 2016 so far. However, we should not be too complacent about these numbers and should instead view them with some caution.
There was evidence that some companies raised activity levels in order to process backlogged work, rather than as a result of rising new business. Although new order intakes continued to increase, the rate of growth was the weakest in ten months, with occasional mentions from panellists of an increasingly challenging demand environment.
“There was also an interesting development on the prices front. Input prices rose for the first time this year so far, as the higher oil price and rising staff costs (partly linked to staff shortages) exerted some upward pressure on costs. However, businesses were reluctant to raise their selling prices in a sign of increasing competitive pressures.
