The IHS Markit France Services PMI increased to 57.4 in November of 2021 from 56.6 in the previous month but missed a preliminary estimate of 58.2. The rate of expansion was the strongest in five months, underpinned by sustained and robust demand conditions, improving tourism, and the resumption of certain activities impacted by the pandemic. Output rose at the fastest pace since June 2011 and new order growth was solid amid reports of increased business enquiries from existing customers. Employment continued to advance due to the resumption of activities that had been closed due to the pandemic and as firms sought to ease backlogs of work, which accumulated the most in four months. On the price front, both input and output inflation quickened, with the former hitting a 13-1/2-year high. Looking ahead, firms were more optimistic and expected demand and output to continue increasing. However, inflationary pressures remained elevated during October. source: Markit Economics

French Services Sector Stronger than Forecast
The IHS Markit France Services PMI increased to 58.2 in November of 2021 from 56.6 in October and well above market expectations of 56, a flash estimate showed. The expansion was solid and the fastest in almost four years, helped by new client contracts and higher workloads from existing customers, as well as some revival in tourist activity. Moreover, employment growth continued to increase at a strong pace. However, supply-chain disruptions persisted, which was reflected in rising input costs and selling charges.

French Services Sector Gains Momentum
The IHS Markit France Services PMI increased to 56.6 in October of 2021 from 56.2 in the previous month and in line with a preliminary estimate. The expansion was strong overall and the fastest in three months, as demand conditions improved amid the resumption of pre-pandemic levels of activity among their clients. Output rose at the fastest rate since July, ending a three-month period of slowing growth. At the same time, both new orders and employment increased markedly, with staffing levels rising at the fastest pace for over two decades. Some companies also reportedly benefited from looser travel restrictions, which encouraged orders from overseas clients. However, inflationary pressures remained elevated during October.
