Expansion of UK service sector remains marked in September
According to the report from IHS Markit/CIPS, the UK service sector continued its recent recovery from the sharp downturn related to the start of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic earlier in 2020, with business activity rising for a third successive month. Growth was supported by another upturn in new work amid reports that market conditions continued to improve. However, growth across the services sector was uneven with gains principally focussed on areas such as business-tobusiness services. Those sub-sectors more exposed to social contact such as Hotels, Restaurants & Catering reported a downturn in business during the month, exacerbated in part by the withdrawal of government schemes or the tightening of restrictions related to COVID-19.
After accounting for seasonal factors, the UK Services PMI Business Activity Index fell from August’s 58.8, which was the strongest reading since April 2015, to a level of 56.1 in September. Although the lowest reading since June, the index nonetheless pointed to a marked rate of growth.
