Final Version for February
Provided by: Markit Official Release: PDF
Germany: 51.9, prel. 51.7, pr. 52.2 (Jan), 52.7 (Dec), 51.4 (Nov),
From the Release: "The final Eurozone Services Business Activity Index posted 51.8 in February, down from 52.5 in January, to signal an increase in activity for the sixth successive month. However, the rate of growth was only modest and the weakest since last September. It was also below the earlier flash estimate. The big-3 of Germany, France and Italy were the only countries covered by the survey to register an increase in services activity in February, with France recording the fastest growth for the sixth month in a row. However, in a further sign that the recovery in services is failing to gain the traction currently seen in manufacturing, rates of expansion eased across all three countries. Meanwhile, the downturns in Spain and Ireland continued. Spain registered an accelerated rate of decline, while Ireland posted a reduction in activity for the 25th month running (although the pace of contraction eased noticeably to its weakest during that period)." |

Advance (Flash) Version for January
Germany: 52.2, prel. 51.2, pr. 52.7 (Dec), 51.4 (Nov), 50.7 (Oct),
From the Release: "At 52.5 in January, the final Eurozone Services Business Activity Index signalled an expansion of the service sector for the fifth consecutive month. Although the index was down from the 25-month high of 53.6 posted in December, it was slightly above the earlier flash estimate of 52.3. France (which recorded the strongest growth), Germany and Italy all reported increased levels of business activity in January, but rates of expansion eased in each of these nations. Meanwhile, the downturns in the Spanish and Irish service sectors continued. Ireland was the weakest performer overall, with its rate of decline accelerating sharply to the quickest since last July. The contraction in Spain was the least marked during the current 25-month period of decline." |

Preliminary Version for November
Germany: 51.5, pr. 50.7 (Oct), 52.1 (Sep), 54.1 (Aug), 48.1 (Jul),
The Euro-zone saw its services sector PMI rise to 53.2 in November from 52.6 in October, according to preliminary data. It's the third month that the index has been above the 50 level which separates contraction from expansion, and is the highest its been since November 2007. The figure also beat forecasts. France saw its services sector PMI climb to 60.4 from 57.7, while Germany increased to 51.5 from 50.7. Still, the chief economist at Markit which puts out the release, said that while the euro-zone economy will show growth in the 4th quarter, the data suggests that the third quarter may have been a peak and that there will be subdued growth as we head into next year. |
