The Eurozone's industrial landscape grappled with recessionary pressures in December, as revealed by the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI), reaching 44.4 (up from 44.2 in the previous month). While the slight improvement is noteworthy, the sector remains in contraction, signaling ongoing economic challenges.

Production scaled back once again, and the persistent job cuts for the seventh consecutive month underscore the sector's cautious approach in the face of economic uncertainties.
