The Unicredit Bank Austria Manufacturing PMI fell to 51.7 in November of 2020 from 54 in the previous month. Output, new orders and export orders grew at a slower pace. Meantime, jobs continued to be shed for the ninth month running, though less than in October, amid efforts to cut costs. On the price front, input price inflation ticked up to the quickest since March 2019, partly reflecting increased supply chain pressures, with November seeing average lead times on inputs lengthen to the greatest extent since April. Meantime, output charge inflation eased and was only marginal overall, amid higher competitive pressures. Looking ahead, firms remained optimistic towards production over the next 12 months, with the degree of confidence improving slightly from October. source: Markit Economics

The Unicredit Bank Austria Manufacturing PMI rose to 54 in October of 2020 from 51.7 in the prior month.

Austria Factory Activity Continues to Recover
The Unicredit Bank Austria Manufacturing PMI ticked up to 51.7 in September of 2020 from 51 in the previous month. The latest reading was still down slightly on July's recent high, however, and indicative of only a modest rate of improvement in overall manufacturing conditions. September saw further increases in output and new orders, with the respective rates of growth still solid but slower than at the start of the recovery. Stronger output expectations and rising backlogs of work meanwhile helped slow the rate of factory job shedding to the weakest since the start of the virus outbreak.
