Meanwhile, Poland’s PMI was at its lowest in two years, at 50.2 points, just two months earlier.
According to the financial website bankier.pl, experts were expecting a slower PMI growth of 52.2 in December, rising from the 51.9 noted in November.
Trevor Balchin, a senior economist at Markit, said: “Polish manufacturing ended 2016 on a high note with growth of output, jobs and new orders all strengthening in December.”
A neutral PMI rating of 50 means that businesspeople in the country feel that the economy will not change over the coming month.
A higher rating means that it is expected to improve, while a PMI rating below 50 indicates that many think it will deteriorate. (vb)
