UK Services Sector Reports Biggest Fall in Orders for Nearly Three Years

The figures add to a growing body of evidence pointing to a slowing UK economy and have been interpreted as a signal that more support is needed.
The news put further pressure on the Bank of England ahead of its recent rate cut, as the central bank weighs the need to stimulate growth against ongoing inflation concerns.
The services sector is a key driver of the UK economy, and a sustained downturn could have widespread consequences.
