(ANSA) - ROME - A significant improvement in manufacturing
activity has been recorded in Germany. In June, the
manufacturing PMI detected by Markit Economics recorded an
increase to 54.4 points, from 52.1 in May. This is the
preliminary reading and represents the highest level reached
since February 2014, recording a constant growth for 19 months
(share 50 is the dividing line between expansion and
contraction). The services PMI recorded, on the other hand, a
drop to 53.2 from 55.2 in May. Consequently, the composite index
drops to 54.1 from the 54.5 previously recorded. (ANSA).
