Inhlangano Yezokucwaninga Kwemboni Yefenisha (i-FIRA) ikhiphe umbiko wayo waminyaka yonke wezibalo ngemboni yefenisha yase-UK ngoFebhuwari walo nyaka. Umbiko ubala izindleko kanye nezitayela zohwebo zemboni yokukhiqiza ifenisha futhi uhlinzeka ngezilinganiso zokuthatha izinqumo zamabhizinisi.

Lesi sibalo sihlanganisa inkambiso yezomnotho yase-UK, ukwakheka kwemboni yokukhiqiza ifenisha yase-UK kanye nobudlelwano bokuhwebelana nezinye izingxenye zomhlaba. Iphinde ihlanganise ifenisha eyenziwe ngokwezifiso, ifenisha yasehhovisi kanye nezinye izimboni ezincane zefenisha e-UK. Okulandelayo isifinyezo esiyingxenye salo mbiko wezibalo:

 Uhlolojikelele lwe-British Furniture ne-Home Industry

Imboni yefenisha yase-UK nekhaya ihlanganisa ukuklama, ukukhiqiza, ukudayisa kanye nokugcinwa, kukhulu kakhulu kunalokho abantu abaningi abakucabangayo.

Ngo-2017, inani eliphelele lomkhiqizo wefenisha kanye nemboni yokukhiqiza yasendlini lalingamaphawundi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-11.83 (cishe ama-yuan ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-101.7), okuwukukhuphuka ngo-4.8% kunonyaka odlule.

Imboni yokukhiqiza ifenisha yenza ingxenye enkulu kunazo zonke, enenani eliphelele lomkhiqizo wezigidigidi eziyi-8.76. Le datha ivela kubasebenzi ababalelwa ku-120,000 ezinkampanini ezingama-8489.

Ukwenyuka kwezindlu ezintsha ukuze kukhuthazwe ukusetshenziswa kwefenisha nemboni yasendlini

Nakuba isibalo sezindlu ezintsha eBrithani besilokhu sincipha eminyakeni yamuva nje, isibalo sezindlu ezintsha ngo-2016-2017 sikhuphuke ngo-13.5% uma kuqhathaniswa naleyo yangowezi-2015-2016, isamba sezindlu ezintsha ezingu-23,780.

Eqinisweni, izindlu ezintsha eBrithani kusukela ngo-2016 kuya ku-2017 sezifinyelele phezulu kusukela ngo-2007 kuya ku-2008.

USuzie Radcliffe Hart, imenenja yezobuchwepheshe nomlobi wombiko we-FIRA International, waphawula: “Lokhu kubonisa ingcindezi uhulumeni waseBrithani oye wabhekana nayo eminyakeni yamuva nje yokwandisa imizamo yawo yokuthuthukisa izindlu ezithengekayo. Ngokukhula kwezindlu ezintsha kanye nokuvuselelwa kwezindlu, izindleko ezengeziwe ezingaba khona zokusebenzisa ifenisha nempahla yasendlini zizokhula kakhulu futhi zibe zincane.

Ucwaningo lokuqala ngo-2017 no-2018 lubonise ukuthi inani lamakhaya amasha e-Wales (-12.1%), eNgilandi (-2.9%) nase-Ireland (-2.7%) wonke awela kakhulu (iScotland ayinalo idatha efanele).

Noma iyiphi indlu entsha ingakhuphula kakhulu amandla okuthengisa ifenisha. Kodwa-ke, inani lezindlu ezintsha liphansi kakhulu kuneminyaka emine ngaphambi kwenkinga yezimali ka-2008, lapho inani lezindlu ezintsha laliphakathi kuka-220,000 no-235,000.

Idatha yakamuva ibonisa ukuthi ukuthengiswa kwefenisha nokuhlobisa kwasendlini kwaqhubeka kukhula ngo-2018. Ngekota yokuqala neyesibili, ukusetshenziswa kwabathengi kukhuphuke ngo-8.5% no-8.3% ngokulandelanayo uma kuqhathaniswa nesikhathi esifanayo ngonyaka odlule.

I-China Iba Ngumthengi Wokuqala WaseBrithani Wefenisha, Cishe u-33%

Ngo-2017, iBrithani yangenisa impahla yefenisha engu-6.01 billion (cishe ama-yuan ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-51.5) kanye nefenisha eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-5.4 ngo-2016. Ngenxa yokuthi ukungazinzi okubangelwa ukuphuma kweBrithani e-Europe kusekhona, kulinganiselwa ukuthi kuzokwehla kancane ngo-2018, cishe ngo-5.9 amabhiliyoni opondo.

Ngo-2017, iningi lokungeniswa kwefenisha yaseBrithani livela eChina (1.98 billion pounds), kodwa ingxenye yokungeniswa kwefenisha yaseChina yehla isuka ku-35% ngo-2016 yaya ku-33% ngo-2017.

Mayelana nokungeniswa kwamanye amazwe kukodwa, i-Italy isibe ngowesibili umthengi omkhulu wefenisha e-UK, iPoland inyukele endaweni yesithathu kwathi iJalimane yalala endaweni yesine. Ngokwesilinganiso, babalelwa ku-10%, 9.5% kanye no-9% wefenisha yaseBrithani engenisiwe, ngokulandelana. Ukuthengwa kwalawa mazwe amathathu kulinganiselwa ku-500 million pounds.

Ukuthengwa kwefenisha yase-UK ku-EU kwaba namaphawundi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-2.73 ngo-2017, okuwukukhuphuka ngo-10.6% ngaphezu konyaka odlule (okungeniswayo ngo-2016 kwakungamaphawundi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-2.46). Kusukela ngowezi-2015 kuya kowezi-2017, ukuthengwa kwamanye amazwe kukhule ngama-23.8% (ukwanda kwamaphawundi ayizigidi ezingama-520).
