South Africa manufacturing sentiment rose to 52.6 in April as output and orders rebounded from a weak first quarter. The ABSA GROUP LTD PMI returned to expansionary territory for the first time since September 2025. While the rebound signals a recovery, rising input costs and front-loaded demand suggest the growth phase faces sustainability hurdles.
