The Composite PMI Output Index, which combines both services and manufacturing, dropped to 47.4 from 49.1, representing the fastest decline in private sector output in a year.

Why it matters
The survey, conducted among about 400 service companies, cited political and economic challenges, weak demand, and budget constraints among clients as reasons for the decline. Companies also reported a 'wait-and-see approach' ahead of the presidential runoff, leading to reduced new business.
