Eurozone business activity speeds up in May

(ANSA-AFP) - BRUSSELS, MAY 23 - Business activity in the eurozone accelerated in May, while prices charged by businesses "softened" from the previous month, a key survey said Thursday.
    The HCOB Flash Eurozone purchasing managers' index (PMI) published by S&P Global recorded a figure of 52. 3, up from 51.7 in April and the highest in 12 months. Any reading above 50 indicates growth, while a figure below 50 shows contraction.
