Italy Manufacturing Growth Remains Close to Record
The IHS Markit Italy Manufacturing PMI declined to 60.3 in July of 2021 from 62.2 in the previous month, below market expectations of 61.5 and the lowest since March as capacity pressures and supply disruptions hindered the performance of the sector.

Strong rates of increase in both factory production and order book volumes remained key to overall growth in July. The rate of job creation was the joint fourth quickest on record, despite slowing on the month. Input prices rose at the second quickest pace on record and firms increased their average charges at the steepest rate in the series history. Looking ahead, the level of sentiment moderated to a 15-month low amid rising COVID-19 cases and the potential for further containment measures.
