The figure increased from a seven-month low, according to data released on Wednesday by Markit Economics.
Analysts quoted by Macronext had expected a figure of 52.1. In May the PMI index stood at 52.4.
“Growth rates for output, new orders and purchasing all accelerated since May, and employment growth was maintained at a solid, albeit slower, pace. The latest survey also highlighted a sharper rate of input price inflation, although price pressures generally remained subdued and firms continued to cut their own prices,” Markit wrote in a statement.
A neutral PMI rating of 50 means that businesspeople in the country feel that the economy will not change over the next month. A higher rating means that it will improve, while a PMI rating below 50 indicates that many think it will deteriorate. (rg)
