Egypt’s PMI (Purchasing Managers’ Index) for March 2022 fell to a score of 46.5, down from 48.1 in February 2022. Weighing heavily on business activity was the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with uncertainty and higher prices causing customers to cancel new orders. Consequently, output fell sharply, all the way down to levels seen in the midst of the Covid pandemic lockdowns. Industrial sectors were hit the hardest due to their exposure to rising energy and raw material prices. Wholesalers and retailers were also affected due to rising food prices. Companies faced difficulty in passing on cost increases to customers due to muted demand. As a result, firms lowered their input purchases significantly.
