NI Economy: Services sector grew in the first quarter

By contrast the figures suggest that a difficult period for the local manufacturing sector is continuing.

Output across manufacturing fell by 0.4% over the quarter and was down by 3.7% compared to the same period last year.

Manufacturing output was flat for much of 2022 and has been falling since the start of last year.

There is significant variation between manufacturing subsectors.

For example the transport equipment subsector saw output jump by more than 9% over the quarter and by 35% over the year.

That likely reflects the strong performance of Wrightbus and the continued recovery of the aerospace sector.
