global demand for personal computers and electronics fell sharply.

Lenovo of China said its total revenue had tumbled by 24 per cent to $15.3 billion in the three months to December compared with the same period in 2021. Net income attributable to equity holders plunged 32% to $437 million.

The company specialises in consumer electronics, personal computers and software. The pandemic boosted sales significantly for Lenovo and its peers as many people worked remotely and decided to replace or upgrade their equipment. However, sales of new computers then collapsed.

Yang Yuanqing, 58, Lenovo’s chief executive, said the entire PC and mobile market had experienced a «severe downturn» in the last quarter and planned to improve its efficiency.

One of the few bright spots in the survey was that companies in all sectors reported a slight easing of cost pressures, price growth and supply chain constraints. However, prices charged for goods and services still rose at the sixth fastest rate since such data started in 2002. Jobs growth increased marginally from October but remained low compared with the past 18 months. Following a few months of falling price pressure in manufacturing and services, the October print shows an overall stabilisation said Jens Eisenschmidt, chief European economist at Morgan Stanley. However, German businesses, at the hub of Europe’s energy crisis, reported that manu...
