2024年11月,BLOM黎巴嫩采购经理人指数从10月的44个月低点45升至48.1,达到四个月来的最高水平。受以色列与真主党冲突的影响,商业活动继续下降,这加剧了安全担忧和经济不稳定。需求疲软持续存在,购买力下降抑制了新订单,尽管非国内销售的收缩有所缓解。投入采购和库存连续第五个月下降,而由于道路状况不佳和不安全,供应商交货时间恶化至20个月来的最高点。此外,就业人数仍略有减少,积压工作连续第14个月下降。成本上涨,尤其是商品成本上涨,导致企业连续第六个月提价。与此同时,由于担心地区冲突升级,悲观情绪持续存在。
The BLOM Lebanon PMI rose to 48.1 in November 2024, up from October’s 44-month low of 45, reaching its highest level in four months. Business activity continued to decline, driven by the impact of Israel's conflict with Hezbollah, which heightened security concerns and economic instability. Weak demand persisted, with subdued purchasing power curbing new orders, though the contraction in non-domestic sales eased. Input purchases and inventories declined for the fifth straight month, while supplier delivery times worsened to a 20-month high due to poor road conditions and insecurity. Additionally, employment remained slightly contracted, and backlogs of work fell for the 14th consecutive month. Rising costs, particularly for goods, led firms to increase prices for the sixth month in a row. Meanwhile, pessimism persisted, fueled by fears of escalating regional conflict.
