2026.05.0504:15:00UTC+00UAE S&P Global Composite PMI Eases in April but Remains in Expansion Territory

The United Arab Emirates’ private sector growth moderated in April 2026, as the S&P Global Composite PMI edged down to 52.1 from 52.9 in March. Despite the softening, the index remained above the 50.0 threshold that separates expansion from contraction, signaling continued overall growth in business activity.

The latest reading suggests that while the pace of expansion has cooled compared with March, the UAE economy is still on an upward trajectory. The Composite PMI, which captures activity across both manufacturing and services, indicates that firms are experiencing ongoing, albeit slower, improvements in output and demand.

The updated data, released on 05 May 2026, will be closely watched by investors and policymakers for signs of whether the moderation in April marks a temporary pause or the beginning of a more sustained easing in private sector momentum.
