英国建筑业作为实体经济和固定资产投资的核心支柱,其景气度直接影响宏经济表现和住房政策目标的实现。
中新社伦敦9月4日电 (记者 欧阳开宇)4日公布的标普全球建筑业采购经理人指数(PMI)数据显示,英国建筑业景气度持续走弱,8月行业连续第20个月陷入收缩区间,住宅建造板块低迷,成为拖累基建地产领域的核心短板。
数据显示,英国8月建筑业PMI录得44.3,低于7月44.7的数值,大幅低于50的荣枯线,亦不及市场预期。行业下行压力持续凸显,仅商业建筑与土木工程板块出现微弱恢复,整体难以扭转颓势。
分析指出,市场终端需求疲软、企业及居民信心不足,叠加中东地缘局势带来的外部不确定性,持续压制建筑项目落地、延缓行业复苏节奏。尽管用工裁员幅度有所放缓、原材料成本小幅回落,但难以对冲行业整体下行态势。
作为英国实体经济、固定资产投资的核心支柱,建筑业长期低迷对英国宏观经济形成持续压制。住宅建设持续萎缩,不仅拖累固定投资数据、拉低经济增速,也直接制约英国政府扩建保障性住房、改善民生供给的施政目标落地。(完)
