HCOB意大利制造业采购经理人指数从12月的46.2微升至2025年1月的46.3,低于46.8的预测,标志着在需求持续疲软的情况下连续第10个月出现收缩。虽然新订单下降幅度更大,但产量收缩速度略慢。投入品购买量进一步下降,这支持了减少投入品库存的努力。企业也在继续裁员,尽管裁员速度有所放缓。在价格方面,意大利制造商的投入价格连续第二次上涨,为2024年8月以来的最高水平,但产出费用以2024年3月以来的最大幅度削减,以保持竞争力。展望未来,企业对今年增长前景的信心有所增强,乐观情绪达到去年8月以来的最高水平,超过了长期系列平均水平,这得益于对国际政治稳定和新客户获胜的希望。
The HCOB Italy Manufacturing PMI rose slightly to 46.3 in January 2025, from December's 46.2, missing forecasts of 46.8, marking the 10th consecutive month of contraction amid persistent weak demand. While new orders declined more sharply, production volumes contracted at a slightly slower rate. Input buying dropped further, with the decrease supporting efforts to reduce input stocks. Firms also continued to cut jobs, though the pace of job shedding slowed. On the price front, Italian manufacturers saw a second consecutive rise in input prices, the strongest since August 2024, but output charges were cut at the sharpest rate since March 2024 to remain competitive. Looking ahead, businesses recorded increased confidence in growth prospects for the year, with optimism reaching its highest level since last August and surpassing the long-run series average, driven by hopes of international political stability and new client wins.
