Financial Uncertainty Leaves Firms Cautious

摘要

Designers and contractors in several global construction markets continue to contend with political and economic uncertainty heading into 2018. In September, construction in the United Kingdom saw a sustained drop in new work, which led to the first overall contraction in the market since August 2016, according to the IHS Markit/CIPS UK Construction Purchasing Managers' Survey. Respondents to the survey pointed to economic conditions and uncertainty over Brexit, freezing possible new projects due to client indecision.
