The South African Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) wrapped up the year on a weak note, with private sector firms reporting the first decline in business activity in four months. S&P Global's latest survey reveals that subdued demand led to stagnant sales growth and a slowdown in hiring.

The sector also faced rising inflationary pressures, with increased costs pushing firms to raise their selling prices. As a result, the outlook for 2025 softened, with business confidence retreating from recent multi-year highs.

On the brighter side, however, supply chain pressures appeared to ease, prompting firms to increase their input purchases.
