Austria Factory Activity Growth at 1-Year High
The Unicredit Bank Austria Manufacturing PMI rose to 50.2 in February of 2020 from 49.2 in the prior month. The reading pointed to the quickest expansion in factory activity since February last year after 10 straight months of decline, as both output and employment returned to growth. Still, new orders fell for the fourteenth month running, due to another drop in exports mainly to southern Europe and China. Also, lead times on input increased with companies linking delivery delays to the outbreak of coronavirus in China and subsequent supply issues. Meantime, stocks of purchases shrank the least in five months while postproduction inventories fell the most in over two years. On the price front, input costs declined for the ninth month and at the fastest pace since last September. Output charges fell only marginally and at the slowest rate in the current eight-month sequence of decline. Looking ahead, business confidence reached the strongest level since June 2018.
