Greek Manufacturing PMI Returns to Contraction
The IHS Markit Greece Manufacturing PMI fell to 48.7 in October 2020 from 50 in the previous month, signaling a marginal decline in the health of the goods-producing sector. The sector once again lost momentum towards a recovery as the impacts of the resurgence in the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic dampened demand. The overall fall was largely due to a renewed drop in output and steeper fall in new orders, as demand among both domestic and external customers was reduced. As a result, spare capacity across the sector increased and firms cut workforce numbers once again. Nonetheless, business confidence strengthened amid hopes of an end to the pandemic.

Greece Manufacturing PMI
The Markit Greece Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index measures the performance of the manufacturing sector and is derived from a survey of 350 industrial companies.
