Mozambique Standard Bank PMI
The Standard Bank Mozambique PMI™ is compiled by IHS Markit from responses to questionnaires sent to purchasing managers in a panel of around 400 private sector companies. The panel is stratified by detailed sector and company workforce size, based on contributions to GDP. The sectors covered by the survey include agriculture, mining, manufacturing, construction, wholesale, retail and services. Survey responses are collected in the second half of each month and indicate the direction of change compared to the previous month. A diffusion index is calculated for each survey variable. The index is the sum of the percentage of ‘higher’ responses and half the percentage of ‘unchanged’ responses. The indices vary between 0 and 100, with a reading above 50 indicating an overall increase compared to the previous month, and below 50 an overall decrease. The indices are then seasonally adjusted. The headline figure is the Purchasing Managers’ Index™ (PMI). The PMI is a weighted average of the following five indices: New Orders (30%), Output (25%), Employment (20%), Suppliers’ Delivery Times (15%) and Stocks of Purchases (10%). For the PMI calculation the Suppliers’ Delivery Times Index is inverted so that it moves in a comparable direction to the other indices.

Mozambique Private Sector Growth Eases Slightly
The Standard Bank Mozambique PMI fell to 52.0 in June 2022 from an 11-month peak of 52.4 in the prior month. Still, the latest print marked the fifth straight month of growth in the private sector, amid a softer rise in new orders as price pressures began to dampen client orders. Also, buying levels increased the least since March, leading to a noticeably slower upturn in inventories. Meantime, output expanded the most since October 2017 while firms stepped up hiring activity. As a result, backlogs of work decreased the most since January. Delivery times continued to shorten, amid easing of COVID-19 curbs and increased competition among vendors. On prices, input cost inflation eased from May's near four-year high, while businesses raised their output charges at a marked pace amid efforts to pass higher costs through to customers. Finally, sentiment remained upbeat, on hopes for improved staff capacity, stronger client bases and new business avenues.
