The IHS Markit Greece Manufacturing PMI jumped to 51.8 in March of 2021 from 49.4 in the previous month, pointing to the first expansion in factory activity since February of last year. Output and new orders continued to decline, although at a slower pace, amid weak client demand and continued closures in the hospitality and tourism sectors. Meanwhile, supply chain disruptions remained apparent, with vendor performance further deteriorating, which led to a renewed growth in input purchases. As a result, cost burdens increased at an unprecedented rate and firms were able to partially pass on higher input prices to clients, with charges also rising at the steepest rate since the beginning of the series. Finally, Greek manufacturing firms remained upbeat regarding the outlook for output over the coming year and expanded their workforce at the fastest pace since February 2020. source: Markit Economics
