Join host Jonathan Weir from AIB Treasury and AIB Chief Economist Dave McNamara for the latest PMIs edition of AIB Market Talk. In this episode, they delve into the November AIB Ireland Manufacturing and Services PMI data, exploring:

• How both sectors bounced back, with manufacturing and services posting robust growth after a softer patch earlier in the year.
• The key drivers behind the manufacturing recovery, including renewed export orders and the easing of tariff uncertainty.
• What’s fuelling the fastest expansion in services sector activity since April 2022 and why employment trends are diverging between sectors.
• The first rise in transport, tourism, and leisure in 10 months, and the evolving impact of AI on technology, media, and telecom employment.
• Insights into inflation pressures, input costs, and what the latest PMI figures signal for Ireland’s economic outlook as we head into 2026.
