Northern Ireland Construction Bulletin published
The Statistics and Research Agency has published the latest edition of the Northern Ireland Construction Bulletin.
The bulletin, which provides a measure of the value of construction output in Northern Ireland for the period January 1 to March 31 2001, shows an overall increase in the Index of two points since the previous quarter and an increase of just under six points on the same quarter last year.
The increase, the bulletin states, was largely driven by a significant rise in Repair and Maintenance while New Work showed a small decrease compared to the final quarter of the previous year.
The seasonally adjusted Index of construction was 115.2, up 2.0 points on the previous quarter and up 5.8 points for the same quarter last year.
The seasonally adjusted Index of New Work was 129.2, a decrease of 1.8 points on the quarter ending 31 December 2000 (131.0), but an increase of 6.2 points on the quarter ending 31 March 2000 (123.0).
The seasonally adjusted Index of Repair and Maintenance was 80.6, an increase of 13.0 points on the previous quarter (67.6) and an increase of 4.9 points for the same quarter in 2000 (75.7).
The estimated seasonally adjusted value of construction output (at 1995 prices) was £458 million, an increase of five per cent (£23 million) higher than in the corresponding quarter in 2000 (£435 million).
The seasonally adjusted Index of Housing was 97.4, up 0.2 points on the last quarter (97.2) and up 3.9 points on the corresponding quarter in 2000 (93.5).
National Lottery Awards to Northern Ireland for the first quarter of 2001 contained capital elements of £5.8m. (GB)
