The UAE private sector has recorded the strongest performance in 7 months

The UAE’s purchasing managers index of the S & B Global Group showed that the non -oil private sector in the country witnessed its strongest expansion in seven months in September 2025, driven by a strong rise in new works.

For the second consecutive month, the modified index in light of seasonal factors rose from 53.3 points in August to 54.2 points in September, indicating a strong improvement in working conditions.

This rise achieved another strong expansion of commercial activity and a faster employment increase.

In addition to its indication of a strong and faster improvement in the conditions of unproductive business, the index scored its highest level in seven months.

The main factor behind this was the strong recovery in the growth of demand for the non -oil -producing sector in September, while the expansion of new requests accelerated its highest level since February.

The improvement in sales volume was largely supported by local customers, and new requests from foreign customers increased.

The high requests pointed to a strong increase in production levels at the end of the third quarter. The companies covered by studying the index in general linked the increase in the activity to increased demand, current projects, and supportive governmental policies and policy activities.

Meanwhile, September data indicated that companies have become more able to reduce pressure on their commercial ability, partly due to the increase in employment, as well as the use of stocks to meet the requests. Employment levels have increased at the fastest rate since May.

In addition, the non -oil -producing companies in Dubai witnessed a stronger increase in their sales by the end of the third quarter, as the Dubai Procurement Manager Index increased to 54.2 points in September, compared to 53.6 points in August, which is in line with the growth performance indicated by the Procurement Manager Index in the UAE. Dubai’s non -oil -producing companies reported a sharp increase in new business levels, compared to August. The frequency of sales growth has also accelerated to its highest level in eight months.

The high volume of new business led to a strong expansion of production, and the high rates of employment in the non -oil -producing private sector.
