The S&P Global Brazil Services PMI eased to 58.6 in May of 2022 from the record-high of 60.6 from the previous month, marking the second-strongest figure since May of 2007 and the eleventh consecutive month of growth. Expansion in the sector was underpinned by higher inflows of new business amid strong underlying demand and new client wins. To adapt to higher levels of demand and renewed capacity pressures, Brazilian service providers increased hiring activity at the sharpest rate on survey record. On the other hand, firms continued to raise fees, owing to the persistent rise in input costs, primarily for food, energy, fuel, labor and materials. Looking forward, service providers were more optimistic regarding business during the coming year, supported by efforts to attract new customers and hopes of price stability. source: Markit Economics
