UK Needs To Build Its Way Out Of Recession

The UK Government must do more to help stimulate the country’s economic growth, to boost the supply of new residential properties and build its way out of a potential triple-dip recession.

This is the view of the Federation of Master Builders (FMB), as the latest ONS GDP figures released showed output in the sector rose by just 0.3% in the final months of 2012.

The FMB point out that overall the UK economy shrank by 0.3%, keeping the country still struggling to escape the grip of recession, while there was a small increase in construction output.
