Stanbic IBTC Bank Nigeria PMI从2月份的53.7升至2025年3月的54.3,标志着私营部门连续第四个月增长,是2024年初以来最强劲的增长。在需求改善的情况下,产出、新订单、就业和采购活动都增长更快。此外,供应商的交货时间继续缩短,供应商绩效的提高与及时付款和良好的路况有关。在价格方面,尼日利亚公司的投入成本在3月份的增长速度要慢得多,这是自2023年5月以来的最低增幅,但仍然值得注意。因此,产出价格通胀连续第三个月放缓,达到2023年5月以来的最低水平。展望未来,企业对12个月的商业活动前景不那么乐观,信心达到三个月低点,低于系列平均水平。
The Stanbic IBTC Bank Nigeria PMI rose to 54.3 in March 2025, from 53.7 in February, signaling the fourth consecutive month of growth in the private sector and the strongest since early 2024. Output, new orders, employment and purchasing activity all increased faster amid improving demand. Additionally, suppliers' delivery times continued to shorten, with improved vendor performance linked to prompt payments and good road conditions. On the price front, input costs for Nigerian companies rose at a much slower pace in March, marking the weakest increase since May 2023, yet still notable. Consequently, output price inflation softened for the third straight month, reaching its lowest level since May 2023. Looking forward, companies were less optimistic about the 12-month outlook for business activity, with confidence reaching a three-month low and falling below the series average.
