Lebanon - PMI

Lebanon's Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) reached an all-time high of 51.5 points in September 2025. This is an increase from 50.3 points in August 2025, a rise of 2.4%. Production and new orders saw unprecedented growth, driven by strengthening domestic demand. A government initiative also likely boosted business confidence. However, input prices increased at the fastest pace in over two years. Lebanon's record low PMI was 45 points in October 2024 and record high was 51.5 points in September 2025.

Lebanon - PMI : Definition
The Lebanon PMI measures manufacturing sector health using survey data from purchasing managers. It is calculated as a weighted average of five key components: new orders, output, employment, suppliers' delivery times and stocks of purchases. A reading above 50 indicates expansion in the manufacturing sector while a reading below 50 signals contraction.
