The Markit Germany 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 panels of 1,000 manufacturing and service sector companies, provides investors, policymakers, business planners and other economy watchers with the most up to date guide to economic trends available.
