The IHS Markit Italy Services PMI rose to 51.4 in September 2019 from 50.6 in the previous month and well above market expectations of 50.4. New order growth accelerated despite a further decline in new export sales, while the pace of job creation was the slowest since May. Moreover, the rate of backlog depletion was steep and the fastest since March 2016. On the price front, input cost inflation quickened to a ten-month high on exchange rate fluctuations and greater wage bills, while selling prices fell for the second month in a row and at the fastest pace since May, as Italian service providers reduced their charges in response to pressures to boost sales.
