标准普尔全球埃及采购经理人指数从2月份的50.1降至2025年3月的49.2,表明经营状况略有恶化,标志着今年的首次收缩。销售量三个月来首次下降,国内和国际需求均疲软。与此同时,由于订单减少,公司削减了采购和员工,商业活动放缓。尽管经济低迷,建筑业仍然是一个亮点,产出和新工作强劲增长,与制造业和零售业疲软形成鲜明对比。在定价方面,在埃及镑企稳和连续第二个月员工成本下降的支持下,投入价格通胀降至近五年来的最低水平。因此,销售价格仅略有上涨,保持了四年来最低的平均价格涨幅。展望未来,商业信心降至该系列历史最低水平之一,反映出对经济不确定性和需求压力的担忧。
The S&P Global Egypt PMI fell to 49.2 in March 2025 from 50.1 in February, signaling a mild deterioration in operating conditions and marking the first contraction of the year. Sales volumes declined for the first time in three months, with both domestic and international demand weakening. Meanwhile, business activity slowed as firms cut purchases and staff amid weaker orders. Despite this downturn, construction remained a bright spot, showing robust growth in output and new work, contrasting with subdued manufacturing and retail. On the pricing front, input price inflation eased to its slowest pace in nearly five years, supported by a stabilizing Egyptian pound and lower staff costs for the second consecutive month. As a result, selling prices increased only slightly, maintaining the lowest average price hikes in four years. Looking ahead, business confidence dropped to one of the lowest levels in the series’ history, reflecting concerns over economic uncertainty and demand pressures.
