Production in constructions

In September 2020, estimates for construction output decreased by 8.1% in the month-on-month series, following monthly growth in the last four months.

In the three months to September 2020, the seasonally adjusted index of production in construction rose by 50.7% when compared with the previous three months, which represented the spike of national lockdown decline.

In the first nine months of 2020, construction output fell by 12.0% in the calendar adjusted series and decreased by 11.5% in the unadjusted series.
