The S&P Global France Composite PMI fell to 52.8 in June of 2022, from 57 in May and missing market expectations of 56, a flash estimate showed. The latest reading pointed to the slowest expansion in the country's private sector since January, as softer demand and persistent supply-side issues weighed on growth, alongside heightened uncertainty due to political developments in France and the ongoing war in Ukraine. A notable slowdown in manufacturing growth to a 19-month low (PMI at 51 vs 54.6 in May) weighed on the overall performance of the French economy, while the expansion in the services sector was the softest in five months (PMI at 54.4 vs 58.3). Output, new orders and employment slowed. On the price front, strong inflationary pressures persisted, although inflation rates cooled slightly since May. Meanwhile, business confidence dropped to a 19-month low, amid concerns surrounding high inflation, as well as expectations of weakening economic conditions. source: Markit Economics
