POLL-Czech March manufacturing PMI ebbs from record peak

...Managers' Index declining for the first time 
in five months, a survey showed on Monday. 
    The PMI index, compiled by ABN AMRO and NTC, edged down to 
57.0 from 58.5 a month earlier. 
    New orders, PMI's main component, posted weaker growth which 
led to a slower rise in manufacturing output but overall data 
still pointed to further sharp growth of the sector, said NTC. 
    Manufacturing accounts for more than one-third of Czech 
economic activity and the PMI drop chimes with the outlook for a 
gradual growth slowdown to a trend rate of some 5 percent from 
last year's 6.1 percent annual clip.
