LONDON

Businesses across the Eurozone maintained April’s blistering growth rate this month as firms struggled to meet growing demand, suggesting the bloc’s economic momentum is sustainable at least for now, a survey showed.

IHS Markit’s Eurozone Flash Composite Purchasing Managers’ Index for May, seen as a good guide to growth, matched the previous month’s 56.8, its highest since April 2011. A reading above 50 indicates growth. Data pointing to a broad-based expansion alongside rising price pressures and a record level for Ifo’s German business morale index will be welcomed by policymakers at the European Central Bank.
