A leading credit rating agency said today that the Russian-Ukrainian war is hurting Egypt’s non-oil sector.
The New York-based S&P Global released a report on Egypt’s Purchasing Managers’ Index. The index consists of surveys of businesspeople. A score above 50 indicates economic expansion, while one below 50 shows contraction. S&P Global is one of the “Big Three” credit rating agencies.
