Italy's manufacturing Purchasing
Managers Index (PMI) fell to 51.5 points in November, its lowest
since June, from 53.8 in October, the IHS Markit research agency
said Tuesday.
It had been forecast to fall to 52.
The index had previously grown for five months in a row,
reaching 50 points, the demarcation point between expansion and
contraction in the business cycle.
Italy's economy has taken an unprecedented peacetime hit from
the COVID emergency.
