Eurozone May Services PMI Revised Lower
The S&P Global Eurozone Services PMI was revised lower to 56.1 in May of 2022 from a preliminary estimate of 56.3 and down from April’s 57.7. Still, it signalled the second-fastest expansion in services output since last September, as new business intakes continued to rise, supported by a renewed increase in new orders from overseas customers. That said, overall demand for services rose at a slower rate when compared to April. Nevertheless, capacity pressures intensified, as signalled by a faster rise in backlogs of work. The rate of accumulation in work-in-hand was the fastest for ten months. To boost activity levels, employment was raised to the quickest extent since July 2007. Meanwhile, there was a further steep rise in operating expenses, leading firms to increase prices for the provision of services across the euro area at a sharp pace. Overall, the rate of output price inflation was the second-fastest on record behind April’s peak.
