Nigeria Private Sector Downturn Continues to Ease
The Stanbic IBTC Bank Nigeria PMI increased to 46.4 in June of 2020 from 40.7 in the previous month, amid loosening lockdown restrictions. Both output and new orders continued to fall although at a slower pace, linked to restrictions to prevent the spread of Covid-19, a lack of customers and insufficient funds to commit to new orders. Meanwhile, difficulties in paying staff led to a record fall in employment. Regarding prices, the rate of input inflation hit a new record for the third month running, amid reports of raw material shortages and currency weakness. The strong increase in purchase costs fed through to a steep rise in selling prices, with the rate of inflation little-changed from the record posted in May. Also, business sentiment hit the lowest in the survey's six-and-a-half year history.
