- Prior 60.6
Softer than the preliminary reading for Germany, not a major impact but continues to highlight the declining trend after the peak in December last year.
Of note, the data shows the weakest rise in output and new orders since late-2016. Not really that optimistic of a sign. The full report can be found here.
