The S&P Global Flash Australia Services PMI Business Activity Index fell to 52.2 in February from 56.3 in January, signaling expansion but at a softer pace. The slowdown reflected weaker services activity and slower growth in new business as customer demand cooled, while employment continued to rise and accelerated to its strongest pace in nearly three years, and outstanding workloads were unchanged after rising in January. Export demand increased only marginally and contributed less to new work inflows. Business confidence weakened to its lowest in just over a year and a half amid economic and competition concerns. On the cost side input price inflation and selling price inflation intensified from January as service providers became more aggressive in price setting. source: S&P Global
