The UK S&P Global Construction PMI rose to 46.1 in September from 44.3 in August, beating expectations for a reading of 45.0.
Despite the improvement, the index remained below the 50 threshold that separates expansion from contraction, indicating that construction activity continued to decline during the month.
The stronger-than-expected reading suggests the pace of contraction eased in September, offering a modestly more positive signal for the UK construction sector.
