<\/a> Non-oil business activity improves marginally in September, but remains in contraction territory:<\/b> Egypt\u2019s non-oil private sector continued to contract in September, albeit at a slightly lower rate than August, as output fell for the second consecutive month, according to the Markit \/ Emirates NBD purchasing managers\u2019 index (PMI) (pdf)<\/a>. The PMI gauge rose fractionally to 49.5 in September from 49.4 in August<\/a>, indicating a slight m-o-m improvement. A reading above 50.0 indicates that activity is expanding, while a reading below that mark means it is contracting. So far, Egypt\u2019s PMI has been in expansion territory only twice this year.<\/p>\n

Export orders increased for the third consecutive month, but domestic demand weakened at an accelerated pace.<\/b> The increase in foreign sales was, however, \u201csofter than in August,\u201d said David Owens, economist at IHS Markit. The overall decline in output pushed up input inventories, which kept firms\u2019 \u201cpurchasing activity broadly unchanged.\u201d<\/p>\n

Input cost inflation still rising, but not as much as previous months:<\/b> Businesses experienced higher input costs last month, with panelists reporting a rise in the prices of fuel, energy, metal, and some raw materials. \u201cHowever, an improvement in the exchange rate against the USD helped to ease inflationary pressure.\u201d The weaker rise in input charges pushed the increase in output charges to decline in tandem, and some firms even lowered their fees on the back of reduced demand.<\/p>\n

On the bright side, the increase in employment last month was the largest seen in 13 months.<\/b> Staff costs also rose \u201cat the quickest rate since last December, as companies looked to improve employee satisfaction.\u201d Despite the expanding labor force, firms reported rising backlogs for the sixth month running.<\/p>\n

Business sentiment at near-two-year low:<\/b> \u201cExpectations for future business activity were down markedly from the 18-month high in August, with September data indicating the weakest level of positive sentiment since October 2016.\u201d That said, businesses expect improved activity over the next 12 months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
