The UniCredit Bank Austria Manufacturing PMI remained in contraction at 47.3 in December of 2022, slightly up from 46.6 in November, and marking its fifth consecutive month of contraction. The downturn was mainly led by the new orders components which remained deep in contraction territory. Inputs fell sharply, marking its sixth straight month of decline while output eased as its rate of contraction was far weaker than new orders and only modest overall. Meanwhile, factory employment continued to show a more robust trend than the other survey indicators, as firms continued to fill up job vacancies. Looking ahead, manufacturers remained pessimistic about the outlook despite easing of price pressures, due to concerns about a broad economic slowdown, tightening financial conditions and high energy costs. source: Markit Economics

Austria Manufacturing Contracts for 4th Month
The Unicredit Bank Austria Manufacturing PMI was unchanged at 46.6 in November 2022, remaining at its lowest level since June 2020 and pointing to a fourth straight month of contraction. The downturn was mainly led by the continued drop in inflows of new orders, although the rate of decline eased from October's 29-month record. Surveyed firms noted that demand for manufactured goods weakened due to high inflation, caution among clients, and lack of appetite for investment and full warehouses. On the price front, input price inflation eased to the slowest for nearly two years amid a further alleviation of supply-chain constraints, but remained high overall. Meanwhile, there were further increases in employment linked in part to the filling of job vacancies. Looking ahead, businesses were less pessimistic about the 12-month outlook, with expectations improving from October’s two-and-a-half year low. Still, firms worried about energy costs, high inflation and a broader economic slowdown.

Austria Factory Sector in Steeper Contraction
The UniCredit Bank Austria Manufacturing PMI fell to 46.6 in October 2022, slipping further from its previous reading of 48.8, and marking its third consecutive contraction in the country’s factory sector in over two-years. The downturn was led by the contraction in inflows of new orders with its quickest rate since 1998, driven by the sharp and rapid decline in international sales. Surveyed firms also noted the weakening demand and the influence of heightened price pressures, specifically in relation to energy. On the price front, input prices remained high, pushed by the increasing energy cost, but declining slightly from September as material shortages eased. Looking ahead, outlook expectations grew slightly more pessimistic as businesses remain highly uneasy on declining outputs and elevated prices.
