The IHS Markit United Arab Emirates PMI increased to 51.0 in September 2020 from 49.4 a month earlier. This was the highest reading since October 2019 following softer COVID-19 restrictions. Output rose for the fourth straight month and was at a faster rate, new orders expanded further, and export sales grew for the second month in a row. However, concerns about a weak outlook for the economy and ongoing cash flow issues for companies led to a further cut to employment. At the same time, buying levels fell for the first time in four months, with companies often using existing inputs to fulfill output needs, which ended a prior four-month run of stock accumulation. Meanwhile, lead times continued to improve, albeit at only a marginal pace. As for cost, input prices rose for the fifth month running, while there were several instances of discounts offered to help stimulate demand. Sentiment was at its second-lowest on record, only just above August's historic low. source: Markit Economics

A reading above 50 indicates an expansion of the non-oil private sector compared to the previous month; below 50 represents a contraction; while 50 indicates no change.
