The PMI covering the bloc’s dominant services industry hit a one-year high of 56.2, up from March’s 55.0 but again lower than the 56.6 flash estimate

“The services sector is in robust shape across the euro zone … Italy and Spain are currently the main driving forces,” said Cyrus de la Rubia, chief economist at Hamburg Commercial Bank.

The new business index rose to 55.4 from 54.2, partly driven by recovering export demand that grew at its quickest rate since July 2021. Improving demand conditions also encouraged services firms to hire at their fastest rates since May 2022.
