UK January data revealed a slowdown in construction sector growth
January data revealed a slowdown in construction sector growth, with business activity and incoming new work both expanding at weaker rates than at the end of 2016. Despite this, survey respondents signalled that confidence regarding the year-ahead outlook picked up to its strongest since December 2015, largely reflecting new project starts and a resilient economic backdrop. This contributed to the fastest rise in employment numbers since May 2016. Meanwhile, exchange rate depreciation against the euro and the US dollar resulted in the strongest rate of input cost inflation since August 2008.
The seasonally adjusted Markit/CIPS UK Construction Purchasing Managers' Index® (PMI® ) registered 52.2 in January, down from 54.2 in December.
