Rates of new business growth were the fastest on record in both the manufacturing and service sectors, helped by a survey record rise in foreign client demand. Constraints on capacity led to a solid accumulation of backlogs of work, with manufacturers noting the fastest rise on record. Alongside component shortages, firms stated that challenges remained finding suitable candidates. Subsequently, the rate of job creation softened from that seen in April. On the price front, both input and output costs rose at record rates. Finally, the overall degree of confidence improved in May. source: Markit Economics
