标准普尔全球澳大利亚服务业PMI商业活动指数从2月份的50.8升至2025年3月的51.6,为7个月来的最高水平。服务活动的加速是由新业务的显著增长推动的,新业务以近三年来最快的速度扩张。经济状况改善、营销努力和客户兴趣增长等因素被认为是需求强劲的关键因素。然而,出口业务略有下降,主要原因是飓风阿尔弗雷德造成的中断,包括其对旅游业的影响。此外,与天气有关的中断导致未结业务自去年4月以来首次增加。在当前和未来活动水平提高的推动下,该行业的就业水平继续提高。尽管未来几个月的销售前景乐观,但地缘政治担忧导致整体情绪下降,达到11月以来的最低点。
The S&P Global Australia Services PMI Business Activity Index rose to 51.6 in March 2025 from 50.8 in February, marking the highest reading in seven months. This acceleration in services activity was driven by a significant increase in new business, which expanded at the fastest rate in almost three years. Factors such as better economic conditions, marketing efforts, and growing client interest were cited as key contributors to the stronger demand. However, export business declined slightly, attributed mainly to disruptions from Cyclone Alfred, including its impact on tourism. Additionally, weather-related disruptions led to a rise in outstanding business for the first time since April of the previous year. Employment levels in the sector continued to increase, driven by higher current and future activity levels. Despite a positive outlook for sales in the coming months, geopolitical concerns led to a dip in overall sentiment, which reached its lowest point since November.
