German Service Sector Contracts in August

· 阅读量 18

The HCOB Germany Services PMI was reported at 49.3 in August 2025, a notable drop from July's 50.6 and below the preliminary estimate of 50.1. This decline signals that the German service sector has fallen back into contraction territory, driven by a renewed decrease in new work and a stagnation in hiring. On the price front, input cost inflation accelerated from July's 53-month low, with firms citing wage pressures. Consequently, the rate of increase in output prices also ticked up in August, recovering from the previous month's lowest level since April 2021. Despite this, business expectations remained relatively stable, with companies maintaining a slightly more optimistic outlook on future growth than the historical average.
