Orders and Jobs in Sync
Saudi Arabia’s non-oil private sector continued to expand in October 2026, with the Purchasing Managers’ Index at 54 points, down from 55.3 in September. New orders and employment continued to rise, though both grew at a slower pace, while output accelerated. Employment increased for the fourth consecutive month, but did not keep pace with the acceleration in output. This means orders and jobs are broadly moving in the same direction, but not at the same speed or automatically. Domestic demand supported activity, while export orders fell for the eighth consecutive month and staff and input costs rose, keeping companies cautious about hiring and future activity.
