联合王国的服务在2026年1月增长,但在削减成本和需求疲软的情况下,就业机会连续16个月下跌。 UK services grew in Jan 2026, but jobs fell for 16th straight month amid cost cuts and weak demand.

2026年1月,联合王国服务部门扩大,科技和科学部全球PMI从51.4上升到54.0,这是自2025年8月以来增长最快的,其驱动因素是商业信心增强、新项目和11月预算之后出口增加。 The UK services sector expanded in January 2026, with the S&P Global PMI rising to 54.0 from 51.4, its fastest growth since August 2025, driven by improved business confidence, new projects, and higher exports following the November budget. 尽管出现反弹,由于成本削减和自动化,就业人数连续16个月下降,这是16年来最长的裁员趋势,特别是在低薪部门。 Despite the rebound, employment declined for the 16th consecutive month—the longest job-cutting streak in 16 years—due to cost-cutting and automation, especially in lower-paid sectors. 消费者需求疲软、家庭预算紧张以及地缘政治不确定性继续限制增长,而投入价格急剧上涨。 Weak consumer demand, tight household budgets, and geopolitical uncertainty continued to constrain growth, while input prices rose sharply. 经济学家期望英格兰银行将利率维持在3.75%,并将进一步削减推迟至4月,等待消费支出增加。 Economists expect the Bank of England to hold interest rates at 3.75% and delay further cuts until April, pending stronger consumer spending.
