The IHS Markit Services PMI for Spain rose to 56.8 in March of 2019 from 54.5 in February, beating market expectations of 55. The reading pointed to the fastest expansion in the services sector in 13 months as strong domestic demand conditions helped to drive new work higher and another notable increase in employment boosted capacity and allowed firms to keep on top of workloads. Also, input price inflation remained elevated despite moderating to an 18-month low mainly due to higher employment costs. On the other hand, new export orders fell amid ongoing economic and political uncertainties, namely Brexit. Finally, business confidence rose to the highest in nine months. Services PMI in Spain is reported by Markit Economics.
