FX.co ★ UK Construction Output Nearly Stalls in April, Slipping to 0.1% MoM

United Kingdom construction output almost ground to a halt in April 2026, with growth slowing sharply to 0.1% month-over-month, according to data updated on 12 June 2026. The figure marks a notable loss of momentum from March 2026, when construction output had expanded by 1.5% compared with the previous month.

On a month-over-month basis, the latest reading shows that activity in April was virtually flat versus March, in contrast to the more robust increase seen a month earlier. The comparison underscores a clear deceleration in the sector, as the “actual” April change of 0.1% barely extends the gains registered in March, when the “previous” indicator stood at 1.5% versus February.
