In June 2025, business activity in the eurozone continues to stagnate, according to the latest Purchasing Manager's Index (PMI) data.
State of Business in the Eurozone
The Purchasing Manager's Index in the eurozone remained unchanged at 50.2 points. This figure fell short of market expectations, which anticipated an increase to 50.5 points. The services sector rose to 50 points from 49.7, while the manufacturing index remained at 49.4.
Dynamics in Germany
In Germany, the largest economy in the region, the PMI rose to 50.4 in June from 48.5 in May due to increased demand in the manufacturing sector. Economist Dr. Cyrus de la Rubia noted that this is a good sign for Germany's economy, which may finally break out of stagnation.
Market Uncertainty
Economist Jonas Feldhusen expressed doubts about the economic outlook, emphasizing that uncertainty in many areas might affect future decisions by the European Central Bank (ECB). Volatile international relations add further pressure to business activity.
Thus, business activity in the eurozone remains under pressure due to low demand and international competition. Attention will be focused on ECB decisions and changes in the global economy.
