FX.co ★ Greece's Manufacturing PMI Shows Slight Decline in August

Greece's manufacturing sector experienced a minor slowdown in August, as indicated by the latest S&P Global Greece Manufacturing PMI data released on September 2, 2024. The Purchasing Managers' Index, which stood at 53.2 in July, has slightly decreased to 52.9 in August.

The index remains above the 50.0 threshold, indicating ongoing expansion in the manufacturing industry, albeit at a more moderate pace compared to the previous month. This minor dip suggests that while growth persists, it is tempered by potential challenges in the sector.

Economists and market analysts are attentive to these fluctuations, as they can be early indicators of broader economic shifts. The continued positive PMI reading, despite the dip, showcases resilience within Greece’s manufacturing landscape. The industry will be closely watched as we move into the fourth quarter of the year.
