21.11.202508:46:18UTC+00French Services PMI Expands for First Time Since 2024

The HCOB France Services PMI climbed to 50.8 in October 2025, recovering from 48.0 in the prior month and exceeding market forecasts of 48.3, according to flash estimates. This latest figure signifies the sector's first expansion since August 2024. This growth was bolstered by a slight uptick in output tied to stronger sales performance and a modest rise in demand, as evidenced by new business inflows. Additionally, job losses within the service industry were less severe than those in manufacturing, indicating that companies are striving to maintain staffing levels amidst a gradually stabilizing activity. On the pricing front, service providers continued to encounter rising input costs, primarily due to higher wages and increased materials expenses. Nonetheless, output prices remained static, underscoring the sector's ongoing challenges with pricing power.
