The IHS Markit Eurozone Composite PMI stood at 51 in January 2019, slightly better than the earlier flash estimate of 50.7 but still down from 51.1 in December. The latest reading pointed to the weakest pace of expansion in the private sector since July 2013 as service activity growth was unchanged at around four-year low and manufacturing expanded the least in over five-and-a-half years. Overall new business fell for the first time for over four years as manufacturing new work declined to the greatest degree since April 2013 while new work received by service providers was barely changed. In addition, employment growth was the weakest in 28 months and backlogs of work dropped the most since the end of 2014. On the price front, input prices and output charges continued to increase in January. Finally, business confidence remained subdued and around the lowest in four years amid international trade tensions, Brexit and ongoing political tensions.
