12:37 AM EDT, 10/05/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Operating conditions in Saudi Arabia's non-oil private sector improved for the sixth straight month in September at the strongest pace since February, as demand recovery led to a marked increase in new order growth, employment, and purchasing activity, the Riyad Bank and S&P Global said Monday. The seasonally adjusted Riyad Bank Saudi Arabia PMI stood at 55.3 in September, up from 53.8 in August. The growth was stemmed by easing output growth and outlook amid regional tensions and supply chain disruptions.
