However, there was a renewed rise in output, but the pace of increase was only marginal amid material shortages and weaker client demand. Meanwhile, firms stepped up their input buying to counteract the use of stocks to supplement production. On the price front, inflationary pressures remained substantial.

Czech Republic Manufacturing PMI at 16-Month Low
The S&P Global Czech Republic PMI posted 54.7 in March of 2022, down from 56.5 in February, to signal the slowest improvement in the health of the Czech manufacturing sector since November 2020. Driving the slowdown in overall growth was a renewed decline in production, down for the first time since October 2021. Also, new orders fell marginally to end a four-month sequence of growth and new orders from abroad contracted at the fastest pace since July 2020, as customer interest waned amid the war in Ukraine and soaring prices and firms also mentioned the loss of key export markets as a result of the war. Input prices rose at the fastest pace for four months, and at a near-record rate. Employment continued to rise, albeit at the slowest pace since October 2021 as backlogs of work grew only fractionally. Weak demand conditions, uncertainty regarding hikes in input costs and the war in Ukraine dampened business optimism, with the overall level of confidence at a 22-month low.
