The S&P Global Germany Construction PMI fell sharply to 45.4 in May of 2022 from 46.0 in April, pointing to the second consecutive contraction in the construction sector since last August. There were decreases in activity across all three broad construction categories, with firms noting that persistent supply-chain bottlenecks and a declining intake of new work dampened activity. At the same time, another sharp rise in the cost of building materials and higher interest rates were both headwinds to demand. Meanwhile, input costs continued to increase to levels not seen since last year’s survey-record highs, while back-to-back decreases were recorded in employment. Finally, business expectations were at their lowest since the initial COVID shutdowns in the spring of 2020, weighed down by concerns over acute price pressures, material shortages, and greater client caution due to the uncertain economic environment. source: Markit Economics
