Press Release
Construction can halt double dip rollercoaster, says NFB. Government must act now
25 April 2012
Figures from the Office for National Statistics show that in Q1 2012, the UK re-entered recession.
GDP, which showed a fall of 0.3 per cent in Q4 2011 fell a further 0.2 per cent in Q1 2012, dragged down by a decline in construction output which fell by 3 per cent.
Julia Evans, chief executive of the National Federation of Builders, said:
"With borrowing still increasing and government departments bracing themselves for another round of spending cuts, we are not looking at a recipe for growth. Traditional drivers for growth, such as construction, are being tantalised with ineffective schemes such as Project Merlin, the National Loans Guarantee Scheme and NewBuy which will do little to help the viable smaller companies that the government itself is looking towards to provide growth.
"The NFB has been warning of a double dip for the past two years, and it is time now for the Government to take serious action to help SMEs to help the economy.”
