Ghana Composite Pmi

The Stanbic Bank Ghana PMI decreased slightly to 51.2 in April 2019 from 51.5 in the previous month. The reading pointed to the seventh consecutive expansion in the country's private sector, albeit the softest since last November. Output and new orders growth was modest and the pace of job creation was only slight. In terms of prices, purchase cost inflation remained sharp, mainly on higher fuel costs and currency weakness. Likewise, some firms were able to pass on higher cost burdens to customers, thereby leading to a twelfth consecutive monthly increase in output prices. On the other hand, sentiment improved to a three-month high, amid hopes of a more stable exchange rate and improving business conditions. Composite Pmi in Ghana is reported by Markit Economics.
