Australia Services Sector Book Fastest Decline Since January
The Judo Bank Australia Services PMI came in at 47.3 in December of 2022 from 47.6 in the prior month, revised higher from preliminary estimates of 46.9, and showing the third consecutive and fastest contraction since January 2022. Both domestic and foreign demand for services were negatively affected by the higher interest rate and deteriorating global economic conditions, driving new orders to continue declining. Consequently, service sector firms increased hiring more cautiously as employment rose at its slowest pace since September 2021. On the price front, input inflation fell to its lowest since February, but remained above average due to higher wage costs. Still, sentiment remained relatively positive for 2023.
