The Nikkei Japan Services PMI increased to 52.3 in February 2019 from 51.6 in the previous month. New orders expanded solidly and at the quickest pace since May 2013, nudged by new product launches, successful tendering and stronger sales performances from abroad. On the price front, output price inflation quickened, input prices climbed at a softer pace in the goods-producing sector, leading output charges to also rise at a slower rate. Looking ahead, sentiment remained positive and close to that seen on average across the past 12 months, as service providers reported a strong degree of confidence, supported by upbeat sales expectations and planned new store openings. Services Pmi in Japan is reported by Markit Economics.
