The IHS Markit Brazil Composite PMI remained steady from the prior month at 52 in December of 2021, the seventh straight month of expansion in the country’s private sector, albeit the slowest. Growth was supported by the services sector (PMI unchanged from November at 53.6), offsetting the contraction in manufacturing (PMI unchanged at 49.8). Aggregate new orders quickened in Brazil’s private sector, marked by a sharp upturn in work intakes for the services sector while factory orders fell for the third month in a row. At the same time, job creation expanded at a softened pace for both sector levels, with services leading the growth. On the price front, input prices were more pronounced among manufacturers due to higher energy costs and a weaker currency. Lastly, forecasts for both sectors point to increased output in 2022 should the pandemic continue to decrease and vaccine outreach continue to improve in Brazil. source: Markit Economics

Brazil Private Sector Growth Eases
The IHS Markit Brazil Composite PMI fell to 52 in November of 2021 from 53.4 in the prior month, the sixth straight month of expansion in the country’s private sector, albeit the slowest one. Growth was supported by the services sector (PMI at 53.6 vs 54.9 in October), making up for the contraction in manufacturing (48.8 vs 51.7). Aggregate sales growth quickened in Brazil’s private sector, as the increase in the services more than offset the sales contraction in manufacturing. However, employment increased in both the manufacturing and services sector. Also, November data indicated that input prices rose at the sharpest pace on record, resulting in near record selling prices aggregated in the private sector. Lastly, should the pandemic continue to retreat, businesses are confident that output will increase in the coming 12 months.
