Germany’s S&P Global Flash Services PMI was revised higher to 49.7 in August 2026 from a preliminary estimate of 48.5, but remained slightly below July’s four-month high of 49.8. This marked the fifth consecutive month of contraction in the sector, though some signs of improvement emerged, with new orders rising for a second consecutive month, partly reflecting stronger demand from abroad. New export business rose for the first time since February and at the quickest pace since May 2023. This encouraged firms to take on additional staff for the first time in eight months, with the pace of job creation the fastest since October last year. On the cost front, input prices rose at the fastest rate in three months. Output charge inflation, meanwhile, eased slightly, although it remained comfortably above its long-run average. While sentiment fell slightly from July’s five-month high, service providers remained optimistic about the outlook for business activity in the year ahead. source: S&P Global
