The S&P Global United Arab Emirates edged up to 54.3 in February 2023 from 54.1 in the previous period. Output grew for the first time in four months due to new projects and rising client sales. At the same time, new orders increased, although their expansion rate was the weakest since September 2021, with some firms noting strong competition and lower exports. Also, input lead times shortened at the fastest pace since September 2019 as supply chain conditions strengthened. New foreign orders fell for the third straight month. Additionally, employment grew, and backlogs of work added the least in 20 months. On prices, input costs went up to the highest since July last year, prompted by the rising costs of raw materials and shipment fees. Lastly, the outlook for future activity improved to a 4-month peak, but optimism remained subdued by historical standards and was below the 2022 average. source: Markit Economics

UAE Non-Oil Private Sector Growth at 1-Year Low
The S&P Global United Arab Emirates ticked down slightly to 54.1 in January 2023 from 54.2 in the prior month, pointing to the continued growth in the non-oil private sector activity but the softest pace since January 2022. Output growth stood at 16-month low, while new orders rose sharply to three-month high. Meanwhile, export orders declined at the fastest rate since June 2021, amid weakening global economic conditions. In addition, employment went up at a quickest rate than in December, although some panelists noted that recruitment processes took longer than usual, which resulted to an increase in backlogs. On the price front, input prices were broadly stable for the second consecutive month, due to robust supply chains and the partial alleviation of energy and transport prices. Finally, business confidence remained among the weakest seen in the series history, albeit a marginal improvement from December's 22-month low.
