French S&P Global Composite PMI Flash (Sep) 51.2 vs Exp. 48.7 (Prev. 48.5)
France's September Composite PMI unexpectedly rose to 51.2, but fragile new orders, declining business expectations, and rising price measures present ongoing challenges ahead of winter.
News detail
"The French economy displayed surprising resilience in September, although the durability of this expansion is questionable given new orders barely rose and firms' own expectations for activity deteriorated." "Nevertheless, these data reinforce the narrative that European economies are weathering the war induced inflation shock well." "The pick-up in the PMI price measures seen in September should however be watched closely, particularly as we approach the winter months, as the risk of energy price inflation spreading to other areas of the economy undoubtedly rises."
