DUBAI: Saudi Arabia’s non-oil private sector marginally grew in March but its employment index fell below the neutral 50-level for the first time in five years, a monthly survey of companies reported on Sunday.

The seasonally-adjusted Purchasing Managers’ Index rose to 56.8 in March from 56.6 in February, versus a small decline in the employment sub-index to 49.8, Emirates NBD said in the report.

A reading above 50 indicates expansion and below that contraction.
