Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Czech industrial PMI edged down to 53.5 in September but stayed in expansion, with output and new orders rising on domestic and export demand. Job creation was the fastest since April 2022, easing unemployment concerns. Input costs rose on energy and materials while output price growth stayed modest, squeezing margins. Transport delays and vendor shortages tied to the Hormuz conflict persist. High European diesel prices remain a structural drag.
