Using PMI survey data to predict official eurozone GDP growth rates

The Markit Eurozone PMI™ has been compiled by Markit’s economics team since 1998 and has built a track record of accurately anticipating official data relating to economic growth, employment and inflation. The survey-based data, derived from Markit’s carefully-structured panel of around 5,000 manufacturing and services companies, offers investors, policymakers, business planners and other economy watchers with the most up-to-date guide to economic trends available.
