The S&P Global Italy Manufacturing PMI fell to 49.6 in August 2026, down from 51.3 in July and below market expectations of 51.5. The reading, though only marginally below the 50.0 threshold, marked the first deterioration in operating conditions since January, with output, new orders and purchasing stocks all weighing on the index. New orders declined for a second consecutive month and at the fastest pace in nearly a year and a half, while export orders also fell. Weaker production requirements led to the first contraction in manufacturing output in seven months, driven by a decline in intermediate goods production. Purchasing volumes also fell, posting their sharpest decline in almost a year. Supply-chain disruptions remained a key constraint amid material shortages and transport issues, although the deterioration in supplier delivery times eased to a six-month low. Meanwhile, employment continued to rise, helping underpin firms’ expectations for growth over the coming year. source: S&P Global
