The IHS Markit Group UAE PMI reading showed an improvement in private sector activity during last September for the third time in nearly 4 months.

The reading of the index last September reached 51 points, compared to 49.4 in the previous August.

This improvement has occurred since the measures related to combating the emerging corona virus (Covid 19) were introduced.

However, concerns about the weak economy and cash flow problems still persist among companies, which led to a further reduction in employment rates.
