December data pointed to a deterioration in French manufacturing operating conditions for the first time since September 2016

December data pointed to a deterioration in French manufacturing operating conditions for the first time since September 2016. The poor performance was underpinned by a second output contraction in three months and an acceleration in the decline of new orders. Employment and new work from abroad also fell further at the end of the fourth quarter, the latter at the fastest pace since April 2016.

The recent slowdown in Germany's manufacturing sector extended into the final month of 2018, according to the latest PMI survey data from IHS Markit
