Double blow for construction industry

According to the Construction Products Association (CPA) Winter Forecasts, published today, construction output is forecast to fall by 2.1% this year... 

Six months ago the CPA was forecasting 0.7% growth for UK construction output in 2024. Three months ago, it changed this to a 0.3% contraction. That it is now forecasting a 2.1% contraction represents a significant further deterioration in sentiment.
