The final reading of France's Services PMI for Q3 2026 stood at 49.6, a significant improvement from the previous reading of 46.8.

Data shows that new orders turned to growth for the first time since November last year, and inflation pressures have also cooled significantly. However, a weak labor market and geopolitical risks remain hidden concerns for the future.
