French Manufacturing PMI at 9-Month Low
The IHS Markit France Manufacturing PMI fell to 53.6 in October of 2021, from 55 in the prior month and broadly in line with a preliminary estimate of 53.5. The latest reading signaled the weakest pace of expansion in factory activity since January, as production contracted for the first time this year amid insufficient input stocks due to severe supplier delivery delays. At the same time, new orders fell for the first time since last December, as activity at clients dropped amid supply issues. Manufacturers also continued to observe strong price pressures. Meanwhile, employment rose for a ninth month in a row, but the rate of jobs growth remained far weaker than those seen earlier in the year.

French Factory Activity Falls More than Expected
The IHS Markit France Manufacturing PMI retreated to 53.5 in October of 2021, from 55 in the previous month and missed market expectations of 54, according to preliminary estimates. The latest reading signaled the weakest pace of expansion in factory activity since January, as intense input shortages caused production to contract for the first time this year. Also, severe delays in input deliveries led to customers cancelling or postponing orders, leading to a deterioration in levels of new business. Inflationary pressures remained intense, notably from material prices, which was mostly passed onto customers as selling charges rose for the eighth month in a row. Meanwhile, recruitment efforts remained positive, with firms expanding their workforces for the tenth consecutive month amid rising capacity pressures. Finally, business confidence improved, as firms were more optimistic regarding both supply side issues as well as towards demand, investment, and expansion plans.

France Manufacturing PMI
In France, the Markit Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index measures the performance of the manufacturing sector and is derived from a survey of 400 industrial companies. The Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index is based on five individual indexes with the following weights: New Orders (30 percent), Output (25 percent), Employment (20 percent), Suppliers’ Delivery Times (15 percent) and Stock of Items Purchased (10 percent), with the Delivery Times index inverted so that it moves in a comparable direction. A reading above 50 indicates an expansion of the manufacturing sector compared to the previous month; below 50 represents a contraction; while 50 indicates no change.
