Looks likely the NI economy contracted in Q1 given both construction & manufacturing output were down q/q while services were flat.
The Quarterly Construction Enquiry (QCE) for Quarter 1 2025 was published today. The total volume of construction output in the first quarter of 2025 decreased by 5.1% from Quarter 4 2024. nisra.gov.uk/statistics/econ…

New Work quarterly change is down 7.0% and annual change is down 2.2%. Repair and Maintenance quarterly change is down 3.6% and annual change is up 12.7%."
