The latest reading pointed to a third consecutive month of contraction across the country's private sector, but at a slower pace and modest overall. There were softer reductions in both output and new orders while employment continued to expand. More positively, delivery times improved at a near-record rate, which helped underpin a renewed uptick in buying activity. On the price front, inflationary pressures intensified, weighed up by geopolitical tensions, rising material prices and global shortages. Overall input price inflation quickened to the highest since September 2014, while output charges were raised at a marked pace. Looking ahead, business confidence rebounded to the highest for three months.

New orders fell for the first time in seven months and output declined sharply. Meanwhile, staffing levels continued to grow while wages were raised at the quickest rate for eight months.

Ghana Private Sector Falls Back Into Contraction
The IHS Markit Ghana PMI decreased to 49.6 in February of 2022, from 50.8 in January, signalling the first deterioration in business conditions in the private sector for six months, albeit one that was only marginal overall. Output declined and new orders growth slowed, as customer demand faltered amid price rises. At the same time, purchasing activity fell for the first in seven months, while stocks of inputs were down for the third month running. Some respondents indicated that inventories were sufficient given weaker new order growth. On a more positive note, employment increased at a solid and accelerated pace. Meanwhile, suppliers' delivery times shortened as vendors made efforts to get jobs finished, while prompt payments also helped to speed up deliveries. On the price front, inflationary pressures intensified. Finally, business confidence dropped to an eight-month low, amid concerns around the impact of inflationary pressures on the private sector.
