  • Export sales have risen slightly in the past quarter
  • The labour market continues to struggle
  • The cost of raw materials and fuel prices are the main pressures facing this sector, due to the conflict in the Middle East
  • Wages, utilities and fuel dominate the pressures facing both sectors
