UK economic growth falls for second consecutive month in May

LONDON (ICIS)–UK economic growth fell for the second consecutive month in May, driven down by weak production and construction output.

GDP declined by 0.1% in May following a decrease of 0.3% in April, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said on Friday.

A fall in May production output by 0.9% month on month was mainly driven by a decline in manufacturing, which fell by 1.0%.
