The construction output was by 1.2% lower, m-o-m, in January. “In January, construction continued to grow, year-on-year. The production was by 8.2% higher and the increase took place in both the building construction and the civil engineering construction,” Radek Matějka, Director of the Agricultural and Forestry, Industrial, Construction, and Energy Statistics Department of the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO), says. Production in the building construction increased by 8.7% and the civil engineering construction increased by 6.9%, year-on-year.
The approximate value of constructions for which a building permit was granted in January reached CZK 28.7 billion and decreased by 28.7%, year-on-year. A considerable decrease in the approximate value in January was caused by granting of a low number of building permits.
In January 2025, construction of 2 553 dwellings started and the number decreased by 27.0%, y-o-y. The number of completed dwellings amounted to 1 260, which was a decrease by 41.1%, year-on-year.
