The latest weekly update is enclosed, including:
- CPA View on Middle Eastern Conflict and Potential Effects (23 April 2026)
- RIBA Future Trends Survey

In addition to this update, the CPA also publishes Construction Forecasts twice a year. Members can download these forecasts from the FIS website here.
