HCOB意大利建筑业采购经理人指数从7月份的48.3降至2025年8月的47.7,标志着一年来最大的收缩。经济衰退的主要原因是住房和商业活动急剧下降,降至13个月和24个月的低点,尽管土木工程提供了自2023年底以来最强劲的增长。需求疲软拖累了销售,并推低了新订单,促使企业以一年来最快的速度缩减采购,并以五年多来最快的速率削减分包商的使用。即便如此,就业率仍在继续增长,但只是小幅增长,是过去12个月来最弱的增长率之一。在成本方面,投入价格再次上涨,但通胀压力仍然相对温和,而分包商费率大致保持稳定。与此同时,供应商的延迟持续存在,尽管没有以前那么严重。展望未来,商业信心自7月以来有所回升,但仍低于长期平均水平,反映出该行业的持续谨慎。
The HCOB Italy Construction PMI slipped to 47.7 in August 2025 from 48.3 in July, signaling the sharpest contraction in a year. The downturn was led by steep falls in housing and commercial activity, which dropped to 13- and 24-month lows, though civil engineering provided some relief with its strongest growth since late 2023. Softer demand weighed on sales and pushed new orders lower, prompting firms to scale back purchasing at the fastest pace in a year and cut subcontractor usage at the sharpest rate in more than five years. Even so, employment continued to grow but only marginally, marking one of the weakest rates of the past 12 months. On the cost front, input prices rose again, but inflation pressures remained relatively muted, while subcontractor rates held broadly stable. Meanwhile, supplier delays persisted, though less severe than before. Looking ahead, business confidence ticked up from July, yet remained below the long-run average, reflecting ongoing caution in the sector.
