The S&P Global France Services PMI fell to 46.5 in April 2026 from 48.8 in March, confirming preliminary estimates. This marked the steepest contraction since February 2025, as demand conditions weakened significantly. New orders declined at the fastest pace in close to two-and-a-half years, driven by slower client decision-making, cautious spending behaviour, cost pressures, and unfavourable geopolitical conditions. Export demand also fell at the quickest rate in nearly 18 months. On prices, input cost inflation surged to a 29-month high, reflecting sharp increases in fuel, energy, and material costs. Despite this, firms raised selling prices only modestly, as intense competition limited pricing power. Labour market conditions remained mildly positive, with firms still adding staff, although job creation was marginal. Business sentiment fell to a four-month low amid rising inflation expectations and ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. source: S&P Global
