British services activity reports strongest surge so far in 2017
Activity in the British service sector reported its strongest ascend this year. Undoubtedly, it bolstered optimism over the UK economy due to the fact that the sector makes up nearly 80% of Britain’s GDP, as industry data disclosed on Wednesday.
In a recent report, market research group Markit told that the seasonally adjusted Markit/CIPS services purchasing managers’ index edged up to 55.0 the previous month from an outcome of 53.3 in February.
In addition to this, market experts had expected the index to ascend to 53.5.
By the way, on the index, a value above 50.0 stands for expansion in the industry, while a value below 50.0 drops a hint at contraction.
Markit pointed out that new work increased at rather a strong pace. At the same time job creation slowed.
Aside from that, the research company drew attention to the fact that the strongest prices since September 2008 powered inflation.
