Euro zone business activity growth hits 11-month high in July, PMI shows

HESSE, GERMANY, JUL 24 – Eurozone business activity grew for the seventh month with Germany offsetting French contraction; the composite Purchasing Managers' Index rose to 51.0, signaling steady expansion, S&P Global said.

  • On Thursday , a survey showed Eurozone businesses recorded an eleven-month high pace of growth, driven by manufacturing and services expansion.
  • Amid Donald Trump’s measures, German manufacturers faced severe pain from US tariffs, compounded by France’s political uncertainty and draft budget proposal, impacting regional growth.
  • Sector figures revealed the services PMI rose to 51.2 from 50.5, and the manufacturing PMI increased to 49.8 from 49.5, showing growth, according to the report.
  • Meanwhile, France saw business activity decrease but at the slowest pace in almost a year, as Cyrus de la Rubia noted the euro zone economy appears to be gradually regaining momentum.
  • Looking ahead, the European Central Bank will hold policy steady, with most economists expecting a rate cut in September, including a long-term investment pledge, said Cyrus de la Rubia.
