Anything above 50 denotes expansion, while anything below indicates contraction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>First up, Lebanon:<\/strong> Lebanon\u2019s non-energy private sector growth slowed down at its quickest pace since October, as new business intakes fell in tandem with a renewed decline in output and employment, according to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/4\/323.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Blominvest Bank\u2019s Lebanon PMI (pdf)<\/a>. The nation\u2019s headline figure came in at 47.6, down from 50.5 in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/logistics\/en\/news\/story\/8a5853ae-ea57-421c-91af-4aec1ab39928\/how-non-oil-private-sectors-in-lebanon-%2B-qatar-fared-in-february\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">February<\/a>, in what is the nation\u2019s first month in the red following its two-month streak in expansion territory.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>New order intakes were down,<\/strong> which surveyed firms attributed to lower purchasing power among clients, as well as a reluctance from consumers to spend on non-essential goods and services. Sales to overseas customers also fell during the month, due to a combination of challenging shipping conditions, high export costs, and regional instability. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Both internal and external factors led to an atmosphere of instability for the economy:<\/strong> \u201cThe spillover effects from clashes on the Syrian coast, to renewed escalation between Israel and Hezbollah, to delays in the disarming of the latter have all left their de-stabilizing imprint on the Lebanese private sector,\u201d Blom Chief Economist Ali Bolbol said. This, coupled with a continued delay in the new government\u2019s appointment decisions led to an apparent \u201cchange of course in the economy toward instability,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Firms\u2019 purchasing activity also declined during the month,<\/strong> with buying volumes remaining largely unchanged from February. Meanwhile, input prices were on the rise, with \u201cfoodstuff, metals, medical supplies and imports all cited as sources of inflationary pressures.\u201d This led to the continued increase in overall operating expenses \u2014 which, in turn, led to output prices going up for the tenth consecutive month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Despite the decline in non-oil activity, businesses remain confident:<\/strong> Private sector firms\u2019 growth expectations remained among the most optimistic in the country since the survey began in May 2013, with many citing hopes for a recovery in demand. \u201cThe only worthwhile news from the March PMI results is that expectations of a better outlook are still positive, though at a more subdued level,\u201d Bolbol said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Over in Qatar:<\/strong> Qatari non-oil private sector\u2019s growth maintained its momentum in March, in what was the \u201cstrongest overall improvement in business conditions in the non-energy private sector economy of 2025 so far,\u201d according to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/4\/335.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Qatar Financial Center PMI (pdf)<\/a>. The nation\u2019s headline figure rose to 52.0, up from 51.0 in February, sending Doha even more comfortably above the 50.0 threshold indicating growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>New orders were on the rise during the month,<\/strong> marking the first such rise of the year, while overall business activity came in lower than in February due to a slow period in the construction sector. Meanwhile, firms\u2019 purchasing activity rose during the month, with companies rebuilding their inventories as the overall economic outlook strengthened.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Employment continued to have the strongest contribution to Qatar\u2019s PMI performance,<\/strong> but came in lower than February\u2019s all-time high of 61.9. This extended the country\u2019s current run of positive job creation to eight consecutive months, with workforce growth remaining strong across all sectors. Similarly, average wages and salaries increased at one of the highest levels on record \u2014 but did so at their slowest pace in four months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Qatari businesses remain optimistic:<\/strong> \u201cQatari firms were increasingly confident regarding the 12-month outlook. Sentiment was among the highest registered over the past two years, and above the long-run survey trend. Anecdotal evidence linked growth forecasts to improving economic conditions, growth in real estate and construction, government development initiatives, population growth \u2013 including expats \u2013 and tourism,\u201d the report reads.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Meanwhile, in Kuwait:<\/strong> Non-oil activity in Kuwait continued to expand at an even more pronounced pace in March, with the country recording its seventh consecutive month above the 50.0 mark for healthy growth, according to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/4\/338.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">S&P Global\u2019s PMI (pdf)<\/a>.

New export orders were also on the rise, increasing at their fastest pace in a year. Meanwhile, Kuwaiti non-oil firms increased their purchasing activity following a fall in February, as companies looked to complete customer requests in a timely manner. Output also increased at a faster rate than it did during the previous month. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Input costs also rose markedly in March,<\/strong> which was mainly reflective of higher purchase prices. This only led to a marginal increase in output prices, with the pace of inflation seeing only a slight increase. Firms\u2019 purchasing activity slowed, however, continued to decline \u2014 albeit at a softer pace than they did in February, which was attributed to both the increases in the prices of inputs and firms having sufficient inventory holdings.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Employment also bounced back following a marginal dip in February,<\/strong> as companies \u201cresponded to higher new orders and made efforts to complete projects on time.\u201d However, staffing levels appeared to once again be insufficient to keep on top of workloads on the back of a rise in new orders, with backlogs of work having accumulated for the sixth month running.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The outlook remains positive:<\/strong> \u201cNon-oil companies in Kuwait remained optimistic that output will increase over the coming year, with confidence hitting a three-month high in March. More than 34% of respondents predicted activity to expand, linked to the impact of new marketing strategies and the offer of good quality products at competitive
