2024年11月,斯坦比克银行乌干达采购经理人指数从上个月的52.9攀升至55.7,标志着乌干达私营部门连续第八个月扩张。这一数据也标志着自8月以来最强劲的增长,这是由于销售环境改善和新客户收购导致的新订单持续增加。随后,企业提高了生产水平,延续了4月份开始的增长势头,这主要归功于客户需求的稳步复苏。与此同时,由于一些工人为了追求更高的工资而离开,就业人数自2023年3月以来首次下降。在价格方面,投入价格继续攀升,采购和员工支出都是导致价格上涨的原因。与此同时,公司连续第三个月提高了售价。展望未来,乌干达公司对经济前景保持乐观,理由是计划投资和对未来一年强劲消费需求的预期。
The Stanbic Bank Uganda PMI climbed to 55.7 in November 2024 from 52.9 in the previous month, marking the eighth consecutive month of expansion in Uganda's private sector. This reading also signaled the strongest growth since August, driven by sustained increases in new orders due to an improved sales environment and new client acquisitions. Subsequently, firms boosted their production levels, extending the growth streak that began in April, mainly attributed to a steady recovery in customer demand. Meanwhile, employment declined for the first time since March 2023, as some workers left in pursuit of higher wages. On the price front, input prices continued to climb, with both purchase and staff expenses contributing to the rise. At the same time, firms raised their selling prices for the third consecutive month. Looking ahead, Ugandan firms remained optimistic about the economic outlook, citing planned investments and expectations of robust consumer demand over the coming year.
