  • The **Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI)** for the euro zone rose to **49.6**, just above November's **48.3**, but still below the crucial **50 mark** indicating growth.
  • While the **services sector** saw improvement with a PMI of **51.6**, it was overshadowed by a **notable downturn in manufacturing** activity.
  • Despite challenges, there are signs of **stabilization** in the service sector, with new business indices showing growth for the first time in three months.
  • The **European Central Bank** is anticipated to proceed cautiously with monetary policy in early 2025, with expectations for further interest rate cuts amid ongoing economic pressures.
