Short-term Economic Indicators Day

View in browser 9 March 2018 Economy Short-term Economic Indicators Day Commenting on today's short term economic indicator figures, ONS senior statistician Ole Black said: "Manufacturing has recorded its ninth consecutive month of growth but with a slower start to 2018. Total production output continues to advance, bolstered in January by the Forties oil pipeline coming back on stream after December's shutdown. "Construction continues to be a weak spot in the UK economy with a big drop in commercial developments, along with a slowdown in house building after its very strong end to last year. "The total trade deficit widened again as rising oil prices made for dearer fuel imports."
