FX.co ★ U.K. Construction Output Flat in December, Extending Downturn Year-on-Year

U.K. construction output remained unchanged at a year-on-year decline of 0.3% in December 2025, according to data updated on 12 February 2026. The reading matches November 2025’s revised figure of -0.3%, indicating that the sector’s contraction has neither deepened nor begun to recover as the year closed.

The figures are calculated on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s performance with the same month a year earlier. November’s -0.3% showed construction activity below its November 2024 level, and December’s identical -0.3% result signals that output in December 2025 also stayed modestly weaker than in December 2024. This stagnation suggests ongoing softness in construction demand, with no clear sign yet of a turnaround at the end of 2025.
