Says Markit:
– French service providers reported a pick-up in
growth of business activity during August. The
improvement was underpinned by a faster rise in
incoming new work. Outstanding business
increased, albeit at a slower pace, but companies
nevertheless trimmed their staffing levels. Input
cost inflation eased to near-stagnation, while prices
charged fell at an accelerated rate.
