Italy Services PMI 2011-2018 | Data | Chart | Calendar | Forecast | News

The IHS Markit Italy Services PMI rose to 53.1 in May of 2018 from 52.6 in April, slightly higher than market expectations of 53. The reading pointed to the strongest expansion in the services sector in three months amid solid new business as the introduction of new services plus stronger demand supported sales wins. Also, job creation went up and levels of work outstanding rose the most in 10 months, with internal bottlenecks and higher demand reportedly leading to delays and backlogs rising. On the price front, input prices accelerated mainly due to staff costs and fuel while output cost declined for the fourth consecutive month amid competitive pressures. Finally, business confidence was the lowest since July of 2016, mainly hurt by concerns over the recent trend in activity growth and political instability. Services PMI in Italy is reported by Markit Economics.
