Meanwhile, average input costs continued to rise sharply in November, driven by higher purchase prices and staff costs. Rising raw material and transport costs, exacerbated by longer lead times, drove the steep increase in purchase prices.
与此同时，11月平均原材料成本继续大幅上涨，主要受到采购价格和员工成本上升的推动。原材料和运输成本的上涨，加上较长的交货时间，加剧了采购价格的急剧上涨。
"Confidence levels also moderated in November, with firms expressing the least optimism since July 2023. Rising competition and worries about its impact on business activity over the next 12 months dampened sentiment," S&P said.
标准普尔表示：“11月信心水平也有所减弱，企业表示自2023年7月以来的最低乐观情绪。竞争加剧和对未来12个月业务活动影响的担忧抑制了情绪。”
