标准普尔全球英国综合采购经理人指数在2025年2月为50.5，略低于上月的50.6，符合市场共识。经济增长完全由服务业推动（1月份为51.1比50.8），这抵消了制造业的大幅下滑（46.4比48.3），与其他主要欧洲经济体的类似趋势一致。最新调查显示，公司新业务出现了一年半以来最大的收缩，公司称客户预算削减，商业投资支出疲软。除疫情冲击外，产能需求下降促使企业以全球金融危机以来最快的速度裁员。在价格方面，投入成本以2023年5月以来的最快速度上涨，导致产出费用上涨，企业指出，根据最新预算的规定，需要提高价格以抵消即将到来的员工成本上涨。

The S&P Global UK Composite PMI was at 50.5 in February of 2025, inching lower from 50.6 in the previous month and in line with the market consensus. Economic growth was solely driven by the services sector (51.1 vs 50.8 in January), which offset a sharper decline in manufacturing (46.4 vs 48.3), in line with the similar trend in other major European economies. The latest survey indicated the sharpest contraction in new business received by firms in one-and-a-half years, with firms citing cuts to clients’ budgets and muted business investment spending. The lower demand for capacity drove companies to shed jobs at the sharpest pace since the global financial crisis when excluding the pandemic shock. On the price front, input costs rose at the sharpest rate since May 2023, translating to higher output charges, with firms noting that prices need to be lifted to offset the impending rise in staff costs according to rules from the latest Budget.
