Greek Manufacturing PMI Softens to 7-Month Low in World Economy News 04/05/2026 The S&P Global Greece Manufacturing PMI fell to 52.4 in April 2026 from 54.5 in the previous month. This marked the lowest reading since September 2025, as growth momentum moderated across output and new orders. New orders slowed to a fractional pace, while new export orders declined at the fastest rate since December 2022, reflecting weaker external demand amid global uncertainty linked to the Middle East conflict. Production growth also eased to its weakest since November 2024, weighed by supply-chain disruptions and material shortages, with supplier delivery times lengthening markedly. Input costs increased at the fastest pace in nearly four years, driving the steepest increase in output prices in three-and-a-half years as firms passed through higher costs. Employment and purchasing activity continued to expand but at a slower pace, while business confidence remained subdued despite the sector staying in expansion for a 39th consecutive month.
