Manufacturing sentiment slips

Poland’s manufacturing PMI fell to 48.5 in December from 49.1 in November, according to S&P Global, signaling a further weakening in industrial conditions. The index has now remained below the neutral 50.0 mark for eight consecutive months, indicating continued contraction, though still at a moderate pace.

December marked the first monthly decline in the PMI since June, driven by sharper drops in production and new orders.
