The BLOM Lebanon PMI came in at 47.8 in August 2019, little-changed from 47.7 in the prior month, pointing to the smallest contraction in private sector activity since January 2016. Output fell for the third month running but at the softest pace since January 2016, with demand being dampened by political instability. Likewise, the rate of decline in new orders was the slowest for just over two-and-a-half-years. In contrast, exports fell at the fastest pace for five months. On the other hand, employment was broadly unchanged, ending a 17-month sequence of workforce contraction. However, firms continued to reduce their purchasing activity, albeit at the joint-softest rate since January last year. On the price front, input cost inflation eased slightly from July and was only fractional overall; and output charges fell further. Finally, firms remained more pessimistic towards the business outlook, driven by expectations for prolonged political instability. Manufacturing Pmi in Lebanon is reported by Markit Economics.
