Tuesday, Markit Economics reported that the Czech Republic HSBC Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index stood at a seasonally adjusted 50.6 in November, up from 49.8 in the previous month. A reading above 50 indicates expansion, while one below 50 suggests contraction. This marks the first overall improvement in operating conditions at Czech manufacturers since June 2008.
Manufacturing production rose for the fourth month running in November and also at an accelerated pace. New orders also increased for the fourth straight month, although it remained below the historical average. Incoming new business increased in both domestic and export markets, with demand slightly stronger in the former.
Further, employment in the manufacturing sector declined for the seventeenth month in succession, although the rate of job shedding eased to its slowest since September 2008. Input prices fell marginally for the second straight month, while output prices were cut for the fourteenth successive month.
