Nigeria Private Activity Rises the Most since February
The Stanbic IBTC Bank Nigeria PMI jumped to 54.6 in August of 2020 from 50.4 in July, pointing to the highest increase in private sector activity since February, before the coronavirus pandemic. Demand improved following the easing of restrictions and output and new orders rebounded. Employment was broadly stable, although excess capacity remained as a result of the severe declines in new business during the second quarter. Currency weakness led to another record increase in purchase costs, in turn feeding through to a rise in selling prices unprecedented since the survey began in January 2014.

Nigeria Private Sector Downturn Continues to Ease
The Stanbic IBTC Bank Nigeria PMI increased to 46.4 in June of 2020 from 40.7 in the previous month, amid loosening lockdown restrictions. Both output and new orders continued to fall although at a slower pace, linked to restrictions to prevent the spread of Covid-19, a lack of customers and insufficient funds to commit to new orders. Meanwhile, difficulties in paying staff led to a record fall in employment. Regarding prices, the rate of input inflation hit a new record for the third month running, amid reports of raw material shortages and currency weakness. The strong increase in purchase costs fed through to a steep rise in selling prices, with the rate of inflation little-changed from the record posted in May. Also, business sentiment hit the lowest in the survey's six-and-a-half year history.
