The United Arab Emirates' non-oil private sector showed strong expansion in October with new orders accelerating and prices rising at a record pace according to the S&P Global UAE PMI. Output prices increased at the fastest rate since the survey began in 2009, driven by inflation in raw materials, fuel, energy, and freight costs.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face higher costs for raw materials and energy that push prices up fast in UAE non-oil sectors. Adjust your pricing strategy now to stay profitable as this inflation trend is not easing.
