The IHS Markit Germany Composite PMI was revised lower to 55.8 in April 2021 from a preliminary of 56 and March's 37-month high of 57.3, owing to the combination of a broad stagnation in services activity and a slower expansion in goods production. New business softened while the overall rate of job creation accelerated to a two-and-a-half year high. On the price front, input price inflation was at a near-record high in April, while average prices charged for goods and services showed the steepest increase since January 2019. Looking ahead, expectations eased slightly from March's series-record high (since July 2012). source: Markit Economics

Germany Composite PMI at 3-Year High
The IHS Markit Germany Composite PMI was revised higher to 57.3 in March of 2021 from a preliminary of 56.8, pointing to the strongest increase in private sector activity in more than 3 years, amid a renewed upturn in services activity (PMI at 51.5 vs 45.7 in February) and a survey-record growth in manufacturing production (PMI at 66.6 vs 60.7) after the easing of some lockdown restrictions. There was a similarly strong upturn in overall inflows of new business, driven largely by a surge in manufacturing export orders. Employment trends likewise improved, reflecting increased pressure on firms' operating capacity and growing confidence about the outlook. Staffing levels rose to the greatest extent since June 2019. Businesses' expectations about future activity improved to a series-record high. Turning to prices, average charges for goods and services rose the most in two years.

Germany Private Sector Activity Growth Highest in 3 Years
The IHS Markit Flash Germany Composite PMI increased to 56.8 in March of 2021 from 51.1 in February and beating market forecasts of 51.6, flash estimates showed. The reading pointed to the strongest growth in private sector activity in nearly 3 years, amid a record growth in manufacturing (66.6 vs 60.7) and a rebound in services activity (50.8 vs 45.7) as coronavirus lockdown measures were partially eased. “Businesses remain highly optimistic about the outlook over the coming year, with many pinning their hopes on progress in the vaccine rollout. However, with the “emergency brake” restrictions coming into effect in April to stem a third wave of infections, the immediate outlook looks less promising", Phil Smith, Associate Director at IHS Markit said.
