However, significant differences have emerged from country to country: while the pace of growth in China and the United States remained fairly constant throughout the period, in Europe the recovery suffered a gradual deceleration. This difference also had an impact on the dynamics of consumer prices: while inflation in the United States showed some signs of recovery, in Europe - and in Japan - it remained at all-time lows. Analysing the individual areas, in the Eurozone the economy showed encouraging signs of recovery at the beginning of the third quarter, having suffered an 11.8% contraction in the period April to June compared with the previous quarter. A classic leading indicator of the business cycle, the Purchasing Managers Index (PMI), returned into the expansion area thanks to a simultaneous improvement in both manufacturing and services. In September, however, the situation deteriorated in the wake of developments on the health emergency front: with a new increase in the number of Covid-19 infections, various countries were forced to adopt new containment measures. Inevitably, the most affected were businesses in the services sector: being the most exposed to social distancing procedures, they showed no signs of growth, with the result that the Eurozone PMI for Services fell again, indicating a contraction. This renewed weakness was also reflected in the inflation rate, which was negative in September at -0.3% compared with the previous year. There was no particular news on the monetary policy front, apart from confirmation from the European Central Bank of its commitment to increase stimuli if necessary. In terms of fiscal policies, following the proposal formulated a few weeks earlier by the European Commission, in July the Heads of State of the EU-Member Countries reached an agreement for a new EU- wide aid plan. Through a total endowment of Euro 750 billion (Euro 360 billion in loans and Euro 390 billion in grants), support will be disbursed over the coming years to the economies of the countries most affected by the pandemic. Nothing new to report on the Brexit front. Negotiations are still underway between the United Kingdom and the European Union to come to an agreement that regulates relations between London and Brussels (especially for trade) when the transition period ends on 31 December. Although the talks between the respective negotiators have been intense in recent months, no agreement has been reached. As regards Italy, the economy has more or less followed the trend of the entire Eurozone. Despite an apparent recovery in the summer, the economy as a whole - measured by the Composite PMI - returned close to stagnation, at the same time that the deflationary pressures
