In September 2017, compared with August 2017, industrial producer prices rose by 0.6% in both the euro area (EA19) and the EU28, according to estimates from Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union. In August 2017, prices increased by 0.3% in the euro area and by 0.4% in the EU28. In September 2017, compared with September 2016, industrial producer prices rose by 2.9% in the euro area and by 3.3% in the EU28.

In the EU28, the 0.6% increase is due to rises of 2.0% in the energy sector, of 0.4% for intermediate goods, of 0.2% for durable consumer goods and of 0.1% for non-durable consumer goods, while prices remained stable for capital goods. Prices in total industry excluding energy rose by 0.2%.

Although the rate of output growth eased slightly, it remained among the fastest registered over the past six-and-a-half years, while the pace of job creation was the best in over a decade. Both were underpinned by the strongest inflows of new business since April 2011.

The final IHS Markit Eurozone PMI Composite Output Index posted 56.0 in October, down from 56.7 in September, but above the earlier flash estimate of 55.9. The headline index has signalled expansion in each of the past 52 months

Germany's service sector started the fourth quarter on a strong footing, despite growth in business activity easing slightly since September, according to the latest PMI survey data from IHS Markit. Inflows of new work rose at the fastest pace for 20 months in October, signalling a backdrop of robust demand, and job creation also picked up to show the strongest increase in tertiary sector employment since May.

The seasonally adjusted final IHS Markit Germany Services PMI Business Activity Index was at 54.7 in October, down from September's six-month high of 55.6 (and below the flash estimate of 55.2) but still indicative of a robust rate of expansion. The latest figure was slightly above the average recorded in the third quarter, and indeed for the year so far (54.5).

The consumer price index (CPI) increased by 0.1% in October 2017 compared with the previous month, reaching 100.9 points (December 2015=100). Inflation was 0.7% compared with the same month of the previous year. These are the results of the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).

The Spanish service sector remained comfortably in growth territory during October, seeing marked increases in activity and new business, as well as a faster pace of job creation. That said, the rate of expansion in business activity was the slowest since January amid reports that political uncertainty in Catalonia dampened growth. Similarly, business confidence dipped to the lowest in just over a year.

The headline seasonally adjusted Business Activity Index posted 54.6 in October, down from 56.7 in September. Output has now risen on a monthly basis throughout the past four years. The latest expansion was marked, but the slowest since January.
