Eurozone: Confirmation of an economic upturn
|The Eurozone Purchasing Managers’ indices (PMI) for July were better than expected. This is visible at country level, as the PMIs for France and Germany rose strongly. This improvement is noticeable in the eurozone services sector, which rose to a two-year high (55.1). The manufacturing PMI climbs above the expansionary line for the first time since January 2019.
These positive numbers have to be taken with caution. Difficulties on the supply side appear to recede, but problems on the demand side are likely to persist. Consumer behaviour will be a key element for a stronger economic recovery.
