The Standard Bank Mozambique PMI inched down to 49.3 in December 2020 from 49.4 in the previous month. The reading pointed to the tenth straight month of contraction in private activity, as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remained weaker than seen earlier in the year. New orders declined at a faster pace, amid a drop in client numbers and reports that export goods took longer to arrive at destinations. Meantime, output continued to expand while employment rose at the strongest pace in ten months. Purchasing activity dropped for first time in three months, due to a fall in new orders. On the price front, input costs increased for first time in nine months, due to a weaker exchange rate and higher staff cost. As a result, selling prices increased marginally. Finally, sentiment strengthened, on hopes of a global recovery due to the development of COVID-19 vaccines.
