(Alliance News) – Ireland’s factories had a weak end to 2022, survey results showed on Tuesday.
The AIB Ireland manufacturing purchasing managers’ index remained steady at 48.7 points in December, still in contraction territory below 50 points for a second month.
“Orders have been in decline since June reflecting weakening demand,” commented Oliver Mangan, AIB chief economist. “This has resulted in the downturn in manufacturing activity seen in the closing two months of the year.”
Production declined for the sixth time in seven months.
More positively, the survey showed that pressure on supply chains eased further in December, resulting in the slowest increase in input prices since February of last year. Irish manufacturers also resumed hiring in December, having cut staff in November.
The PMI is compiled by S&P Global from the responses to a questionary sent to 250 Irish manufacturers, with data collected from December 6 to 16.

The Morningstar Star Rating for Stocks is assigned based on an analyst’s estimate of a stocks fair value. It is projection/opinion and not a statement of fact. Morningstar assigns star ratings based on an analyst’s estimate of a stock’s fair value. Four components drive the Star Rating: (1) our assessment of the firm’s economic moat, (2) our estimate of the stock’s fair value, (3) our uncertainty around that fair value estimate and (4) the current market price. This process culminates in a single-point star rating that is updated daily. A 5-star represents a belief that the stock is a good value at its current price; a 1-star stock isn’t. If our base-case assumptions are true the market price will converge on our fair value estimate over time, generally within three years. Investments in securities are subject to market and other risks. Past performance of a security may or may not be sustained in future and is no indication of future performance.
