What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The latest Stanbic Bank Kenya Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), compiled by S&P Global, rose to 51.3 in September from 49.7 in August, indicating a return to expansionary territory. The survey, based on responses from about 400 private-sector companies across agriculture, mining, manufacturing, construction, wholesale, retail, and services, showed new orders increased for the fourth consecutive month. Despite this headline improvement, actual business output declined for the seventh straight month.
