French Private Sector Growth Weaker than Expected
The S&P Global France Composite PMI fell to 50.6 in July of 2022 from 52.5 in the prior month, largely missing market expectations 51.8 and barely remaining in the expansionary territory. The latest reading pointed to the slowest growth in the country’s private sector activity since March 2021, as weakening demand conditions led to the first decline in aggregate new business since February 2021. Growth in service sector slowed to a 15-month low (50.6 vs 52.1 in June), offsetting the first contraction in the manufacturing sector since November 2020 (49.6 vs 51.4). Output declined for goods producers, falling to its lowest level in 26 months, while output slowed further for service providers. Still, hiring activity remained solid, supported by the services sector. On the price front, inflationary pressures fell to five-month low but remained relatively close to record highs. Looking forward, output expectations rebounded slightly from the 19-month low hit in May.

French Composite PMI Revised Slightly Down
The S&P Global France Composite PMI fell to 52.5 in June of 2022 from 57 in May and slightly below a flash estimate of 52.8. The latest reading pointed to the slowest expansion in the country's private sector in 14 months, as softer demand and persistent supply-side issues weighed on growth, alongside heightened uncertainty due to political developments in France and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Manufacturing production decreased for the first time since last October, while services activity continued to rise, but the rate of expansion eased to the weakest since January. Total new orders also slowed, while new export orders fell sharply, with declines seen across both monitored sectors. More positively, employment continued to rise markedly. On the price front, rates of input cost and output price inflation remained elevated, with service providers actually posting a fresh record rise in input prices. Lastly, business confidence dropped to a 19-month low.
