However, business activity growth slowed to its weakest pace since June 2021, affected by ongoing competitive pressures and higher costs.</p> <p></p> <p>Companies faced a significant increase in input costs during July, prompting moderate selling price hikes. Meanwhile, hiring picked up slightly following June's first decrease in employment in 15 months, according to the report.</p> <p></p> <p>Conversely, business confidence regarding future output levels fell to a four-month low.</p>
