2025年5月,AIB爱尔兰服务业采购经理人指数从4月份的15个月低点52.8上升至54.7,主要得益于新工作的快速增长。然而,由于未完成的商业和就业增长放缓,服务业的扩张仍低于长期趋势水平55.1(自2020年以来)。创造就业机会的速度是自1月份暂停招聘以来最慢的。与此同时,未完成业务水平以四个月来最慢的速度增长,受到运输、旅游和休闲行业六个月来第五次下降的拖累。四个子行业中有三个子行业的商业活动增长更高,其中科技、媒体和电信行业领涨。关于价格,投入成本通胀降至八个月低点,而产出成本通胀加速,仍远高于长期平均水平。最后,尽管国际贸易状况持续存在不确定性,但商业情绪略有改善。
The AIB Ireland Services PMI increased to 54.7 in May 2025, up from April’s 15-month low of 52.8, mainly boosted by a faster rise in new work. However, the expansion in the services sector remained below the long-run trend level of 55.1 (since 2020), as both outstanding business and employment growth eased. The pace of job creation was the weakest since January’s pause in recruitment. Meanwhile, the level of outstanding business increased at the slowest rate in four months, weighed down by a fifth decline in six months in the transport, tourism, and leisure sector. Three of the four sub-sectors posted higher growth in business activity, led by technology, media, and telecom. Regarding prices, input cost inflation eased to an eight-month low, while output cost inflation accelerated and remained well above the long-term average. Finally, business sentiment improved marginally, despite ongoing uncertainty in international trade conditions.
