The IHS Markit Italy Composite PMI fell to 56.6 in September of 2021 from a 15-year high of 59.1 in August, pointing to the slowest although solid growth in private sector activity in four months. Goods producers continued to lead the expansion (59.7 vs 60.9 in August), recording a quicker upturn than the service sector (55.5 vs 58), although both saw the rate of increase in output slow on the month. Driving the overall upturn was a further sharp rise in inflows of new work to Italian companies. Order book growth did slow to a five-month low, but remained sharp nonetheless. September data also highlighted a further round of job creation, extending the current sequence to five months. Cost pressures intensified further in September, with the rate of input price inflation accelerating since August to a rapid pace. Subsequently, firms raised their selling prices sharply. Finally, business confidence edged up to a three-month high and remained historically elevated. source: Markit Economics

Italy Composite PMI
The Italy Composite PMI is a weighted average of the Manufacturing Output Index and the Services Business Activity Index. Survey responses reflect the change, if any, in the current month compared to the previous month based on data collected mid-month. For each of the indicators the ‘Report' shows the percentage reporting each response, the net difference between the number of higher/better responses and lower/worse responses, and the ‘diffusion' index. This index is the sum of the positive responses plus a half of those responding ‘the same'. A reading above 50 indicates that the services sector is generally expanding; below 50 indicates that it is generally declining.
