The AIB Ireland Services PMI declined to a six-month low of 55.6 in June 2022 from 60.2 in May, amid growing concerns over soaring inflation and geopolitical instability. Still, the latest figure remained above its long-run trend level since 2000 of 55.1, with new orders rising for 16th straight month despite the rate of growth being the weakest since January. Also, employment growth continued to expand strongly despite easing to a five-month low. Meantime, both input prices and charges rose at the fourth-fastest rates on record, which were little-changed from the all-time highs seen in March and April, respectively. Among sub-sector, there was a notable loss of momentum in transport/tourism/leisure while growth in the technology/media & telecoms sector eased to a three-month low. Finally, sentiment hit its lowest since October 2020, on worries over the impact of the Ukraine war and surging prices. source: Markit Economics

Ireland Services PMI Rises to 5-Month High
The AIB Ireland Services PMI increased to 63.4 in March of 2022 from 61.8 a month earlier, pointing to the highest reading since last October. The improvement marked a faster expansion than the trend over the current 13-month sequence of increases, supported by a further sharp expansion in new orders. In addition, employment expanded the most in seven months while outstanding business rose at the fastest rate since October 2000 amid pressure on operating capacity On prices, March data revealed record cost pressures, with input price inflation soaring to the highest level since the survey began in 2000, linked to higher labor, energy, fuel, insurance, and transport costs. That in turn led to a record pace of selling prices. Finally, business sentiment was at its weakest since the start of 2021 due to the war in Ukraine. March's drop in sentiment was exceeded only twice in the survey history, in March 2020 and September 2001.
