Silver jewelry exhibition draws crowds at Abha Festival
ABHA: A silver jewelry exhibition staged as part of the 26th Abha Shopping Festival has proven very popular with visitors, according to a report published by the Saudi Press Agency on Friday. Highlights from the exhibition included rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches, intricately adorned with silver and agate, long favored in local markets. Ali Basha, an investor in the silver and agate trade, told the SPA that visitors had been drawn to a wide variety of precious stones and jewelry, with particular interest in Yemeni agate, Turkish and Italian rings, liver agate, and natural agate. He also highlighted the appeal of prayer beads made from yusr, amber, amber dust, and bakelite, along with pure silver pieces plated in rhodium to achieve a brilliant, diamond-like shine. Basha noted that products were available across a wide range of prices to suit most budgets, with silver rings priced between SR100 and SR1,000 ($27 to $270), and handcrafted silver jewelry pieces ranging from SR100 to SR2,500. He added that he had witnessed a growing demand for antique silver, particularly pieces inlaid with amber and coral, which remain especially popular among collectors and enthusiasts. 'The silver and agate jewelry market continues to evolve, marked by the rise of contemporary designs crafted entirely by hand, without the use of machinery,' Basha told the SPA. 'This careful craftsmanship endows each piece with a distinctive artistic character, deeply appealing to those who value originality and sophisticated elegance.' He concluded by suggesting that the pieces' beauty, rich colors, natural luster, and varied designs make them an ideal choice for gifts for both men and women, which he believed contributed to the strong turnout at the exhibition.

Saudi Business and Job Growth Hit 14-Year High
Business conditions in Saudi Arabia's non-oil private sector improved notably in June, driven by a marked rise in customer demand and expanded production, according to the latest Riyad Bank Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) data. New business volumes surged, fueling the fastest pace of employment growth since May 2011. This strong demand for workers pushed wage costs to record highs, adding pressure on overall expenses and contributing to a fresh increase in output prices. The headline PMI climbed to 57.2 in June from 55.8 in May - its highest level in three months and slightly above the long-term average of 56.9. The reading signaled a robust improvement in the health of the non-oil private sector economy. Companies reported another rise in new orders last month, with growth accelerating following a recent low in April. Many firms cited gaining new clients, alongside improved marketing efforts and stronger demand conditions. Domestic sales were the main driver of the increase, while export sales edged up slightly. Purchasing Activity Expands Production continued to expand through the end of Q2, although growth slowed to a 10-month low. Purchasing activity picked up sharply as companies sought to secure additional inputs to meet rising demand, with the pace of purchase growth reaching its fastest in two years. Employment growth accelerated as businesses rapidly expanded their workforce to keep pace with incoming orders, pushing hiring to the highest level since mid-2011. This strong recruitment trend, which began early in 2025, was largely driven by a rising need for skilled workers, prompting companies to increase salary offers. Consequently, overall wage costs rose at the fastest rate since the PMI survey started in 2009. Facing mounting cost pressures from higher raw material prices, firms raised their selling prices sharply in June , the biggest increase since late 2023, reversing declines recorded in two of the previous three months. This price hike largely reflected the passing of higher operating costs onto customers, although some companies opted for competitive pricing strategies by cutting prices. Resilient Economic Outlook Looking ahead, non-oil private sector firms remained confident about business activity over the next 12 months. Optimism hit a two-year high, supported by resilient domestic economic conditions, strong demand, and improved sales. Supply-side conditions also showed positive momentum, with another strong improvement in supplier performance. Dr. Naif Alghaith, Chief Economist at Riyad Bank, said: 'Future expectations among non-oil companies remain very positive. Business confidence reached its highest level in two years, underpinned by strong order inflows and improving local economic conditions.' He added: 'However, cost pressures became more pronounced in June, with wage growth hitting record levels as companies compete to retain talent. Purchasing prices also rose at the fastest pace since February, partly driven by increased demand and geopolitical risks. Despite these challenges, companies broadly raised selling prices to recover from May's declines, reflecting an improved ability to pass higher costs onto customers.'
