New biz activity eases, hiring stalls, show PMI data
INDIA'S SERVICES SECTOR activity slowed to its weakest pace in 11 months in December, as new business growth eased and hiring stalled, according to the latest HSBC survey.
The slowdown comes on the heels of the manufacturing sector, which saw its weakest growth in two years in December, reflecting softer demand conditions and cautious production strategies by firms.
The seasonally adjusted HSBC India Services PMI Business Activity Index, which gauges month-on-month business activity, fell from 59.8 in November to 58.0 in December, marking the slowest rate of expansion since January. Despite the decline, the reading still indicated a substantial rise in output.
