Meanwhile, manufacturing growth remained the second-weakest seen over the past 17 months. Inflows of new business rose at a faster pace and the pace of job creation was the second-highest over the past 21 years, while backlogs of work increased at an elevated pace due to ongoing constraints. Suppliers’ delivery times continued to lengthen at record rate, amid ongoing supply shortages and transport problems. On the price front, firms’ costs and average selling prices charged for goods and services both rose at record rates.

Euro Area Composite PMI Revised Lower
The IHS Markit Eurozone Composite PMI was revised slightly lower to 54.2 in October of 2021 from a preliminary of 54.3, pointing to the slowest growth in private sector activity in six months. Since hitting a 15-year high of 60.2 in July, the activity growth has been in the downward trend. Growth at goods producers slowed to a particularly notable degree, easing to the weakest since the recovery in manufacturing began last July. Meanwhile, activity growth hit a six-month low at service providers as strong post-lockdown rates of expansion petered out. Supply-side constraints were a major headwind to businesses in October and also fuelled strong inflationary pressures, with both input costs and output prices rising at record rates.
