Italy Manufacturing PMI 2012-2018 | Data | Chart | Calendar | Forecast

The IHS Markit Italy Manufacturing PMI fell to 52.7 in May of 2018 from 53.5 in April, below market expectations of 53. The reading pointed to the slowest expansion in the manufacturing sector since November of 2016 as softer demand, especially from China and the US, led to weaker gains in output and new orders. Also, input prices increased sharply amid rising commodities and raw materials while just over 13 percent of manufacturers raised their own charges. On the other hand, employment rose further and backlogs of work declined at the second fastest rate in two-and-a-half years. Business optimism remained high during the latest survey period amid positive projections for demand and investment. Manufacturing PMI in Italy is reported by Markit Economics.
