标准普尔南非全球采购经理人指数从5月份的50.8降至2025年6月的50.1,表明在产出和新订单再次下降的情况下,私营部门活动增长疲软,几乎处于中性状态。出口需求连续第三个月减弱,导致新业务下滑。产出水平三个月来首次出现收缩,只有服务业表现出弹性。在价格方面,由于购买价格上涨和工资通胀加速,尤其是批发和零售业,投入成本上涨速度加快。尽管如此,销售价格通胀仍然温和,因为公司试图保持竞争力,并利用兰特走强来降低一些价格。展望未来,由于对国内和全球政策的担忧加剧,商业信心降至2021年7月以来的最低水平。尽管如此,公司在三个月内第二次增加了人员编制,创造就业机会的速度是自2024年5月以来最快的。
The S&P Global South Africa PMI fell to 50.1 in June 2025 from 50.8 in May, indicating softer growth and nearly neutral conditions in private sector activity amid renewed declines in output and new orders. Export demand weakened for the third straight month, contributing to the downturn in new business. Output levels contracted for the first time in three months, with only the services sector showing resilience. On the price front, input costs rose at a quicker pace, driven by higher purchase prices and accelerating wage inflation, especially in wholesale and retail. Still, selling price inflation remained modest, as firms sought to stay competitive and took advantage of a stronger rand to cut some prices. Looking ahead, business confidence fell to its lowest level since July 2021, amid rising concerns over domestic and global policy. Nevertheless, firms increased staffing for the second time in three months, with the pace of job creation the fastest since May 2024.
