THETRACKER ONE STEP AT A TIME

摘要

Construction activity continued to contract in January, albeit at a slightly weaker rate; indeed, the activity index edged up to a six-month high of 46. There were varying fortunes for the sectors: the residential activity index was the only one to rise, creeping up two points to 48. In contrast, the civil engineering activity index continued its recent slide, falling six points to a record low of 19. The non-residential activity index also fell by six points, dipping back into negative territory to 46.
