The Unicredit Bank Austria Manufacturing PMI fell to a 22-month low of 51.2 in June of 2022 from 56.6 in the previous month. New orders fell at a sharply accelerated pace as high prices and economic uncertainty weakened customer demand. This coupled with material shortages led to a decline in production levels, although at a slower rate than new orders as firms were able to deplete backlogs of work. Still, the rate of factory employment was robust in June. Supply delays were once again widely reported, with shortages of materials and components being compounded by transportation issues. On the price front, rates of inflation cooled for the second month in a row, coinciding with the alleviation of some supply chain pressures, although they remained historically elevated. Looking ahead, output expectations turned negative for the first time since the initial COVID outbreak two years ago. source: Markit Economics

Austria Manufacturing PMI Slips to 16-Month Low
The Unicredit Bank Austria Manufacturing PMI fell to a 16-month low of 56.6 in April of 2022 from 57.9 in the previous month. New orders contracted for first time in nearly two years, amid sharp price increases and economic uncertainty. In contrast, production increased slightly faster than the five-month low seen in April, driven by improved production capabilities and deliberate efforts to tackle backlogs of work. Pre-production inventories rose more than stocks of finished goods as firms over-purchased inputs to boost safety stocks to mitigate against supply issues. On the price front, supply-demand imbalances and elevated costs of energy and transportation, led to a further sharp increase in input prices and a consequent quickening of output charges. Finally, expectations towards future output hit a near two-year low, as inflationary pressures, the Russia-Ukraine war and continued supply chain disruptions, weighed on business confidence.
