Qatar's Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) showed significant growth in Qatar's non-oil private sector businesses, and demand for goods and services rose at a faster rate, leading to overall business activity growth and the accumulation of the largest amount of unfinished business in more than two years.
The headline PMI rose from 51.7 in September to 52.8 in October, beating the third-quarter average of 52 points, indicating continued momentum in non-oil private sector companies, and a higher rate of new business growth, leading to higher production and an increased backlog.
