<h1>India's Services Sector Hits 4-Month High in December Amid Strong Demand and Easing Inflationary Pressures.</h1> India's services sector growth reached a four-month high in December due to strong demand and easing inflationary pressures, according to a survey. The HSBC India Services Business Activity Index increased from 58.4 in November to 59.3 in December, indicating robust expansion. New business inflows and positive forecasts supported job creation, although employment growth softened slightly. Despite increased costs for food, labor, and materials, selling price inflation eased. While the services sector showed strength, the manufacturing sector experienced a slowdown, with growth at a 12-month low. Overall, the private sector saw a faster increase in output, driven by strong service sector performance.
