The Stanbic Bank Kenya PMI dropped to 49.3 in April 2019 from 51 in the previous month, signalling a deterioration in business conditions for the first time since November 2017. Both activity and employment declined for the first time in 17 months amid poor weather conditions and intensifying cash flow issues, while new orders were broadly unchanged, ending a 16-month period of growth. Still, purchasing activity and stock levels continued to rise. On the price front, input cost inflation rose for the first time in seven months due to higher commodity and fuel prices, while output charges fell. Nevertheless, business sentiment remained strongly positive in April, dipping only slightly from March's 54-month high on plans to improve efficiency and expand into new markets over the coming year.
