For November
Contraction in the UK construction sector continued for the 21st straight month, as the construction PMI posted a 47.0 reading for the month of November. However, the rate of decline in the sector abated a bit, with the index climbing for the first time in three months. The figure is the highest since August. With the UK economy still far from returning to normal growth it will take time for homebuilders to regain their footing, and for now they are coping by trimming staff whole they await an increase in business. New business increased marginally in November, the first rise in new order volumes in 21 months. So it seems that the worst of construction's contraction is over, recovery still remains elusive. We'll see how the sector shapes up in the months to come. |

For August
The UK construction sector contracted for the 18th month in a row in August. The PMI index registered a reading of 47.7, which was an improvement on July, but lower than expectations. The slowdown in the construction sector is easing as August's reading was the highest in that 18 month span. New orders remained weak and the sector continued to shed jobs. |

For May
The UK construction PMI rose to its highest level in 13 months in May, jumping to 45.9 following a 38.1 reading in April. A reading below 50 means that the sector is still contracting however. The housing market in the UK is seeing some tentative positive signs as housing prices seem to be bottoming and mortgage approvals rose to the highest level in a year in April. |
