<\/a> Non-oil business activity in Egypt saw a \u201csolid decline\u201d in February <\/strong>as inflationary pressures continued to impact business confidence and demand, according to IHS Markit\u2019s purchasing managers\u2019 index (PMI) survey (pdf)<\/a>. The contraction eased slightly to 48.1 from 47.9 in January<\/a> but concerns about economic conditions sent confidence levels to the lowest in the survey\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

This is the 15th consecutive month that Egypt\u2019s private sector has been in contraction<\/strong> since the two months\u2019 of growth in September and October 2020.<\/p>\n

What they said: <\/strong>\u201cThe pandemic-led surge in input prices and the omicron wave continued to derail Egypt's recovery in the first quarter of 2022,\u201d said David Owen, IHS Markit economist. \u201cOutput, new business, employment and purchases were all down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Confidence is at an all-time low: <\/strong>\u201cOverall confidence fell to its lowest level in the series history, with just 11% of firms reporting a positive outlook for the upcoming year,\u201d said Owen. That\u2019s in stark contrast to our Enterprise 2022 reader poll taken at the start of the year, when most of you were pretty optimistic about doing business in Egypt in 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ELSEWHERE IN THE REGION- <\/strong>The UAE and Saudi Arabia both recorded strong growth in the non-oil private sector in February, as rising demand and confidence levels buoyed activity. The UAE\u2019s PMI (pdf)<\/a> rose to 54.8 in February from 54.1 in January as output levels rose and growing confidence saw input purchases hit their highest level since 2019. Meanwhile, KSA<\/a>\u2019s PMI (pdf)<\/a> rose to 56.2 in February from 53.2 in January, with purchasing growth hitting a 33-month high.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
