Construction output was by 1.0% higher, month-on-month, in July; in the year-on-year comparison, it increased by 10.1%. “In July, construction output continued in its double-digit growth. Production in building construction increased by 9.2% and the civil engineering construction increased by 11.5%,” Petra Kačírková from the Construction Statistics Unit of the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO), says.
The approximate value of constructions for which a building permit was granted in July reached CZK 54.2 billion and increased by 37.9%, year-on-year. “The year-on-year growth of the approximate value of constructions was contributed to by granting a permit for reconstruction of a large transport construction for billions of CZK. However, even after modelling the deduction of constructions with budgets over CZK one billion, the approximate value would be above the level from July 2024,” Radek Matějka, Director of the Agricultural and Forestry, Industrial, Construction, and Energy Statistics Department of the CZSO, explains.
Construction of 2 628 dwellings started in July 2025 and the number decreased by 9.2%, year-on-year. The number of completed dwellings amounted to 2 353, which was a year-on-year decrease by 13.4%.
According to Eurostat data, the construction output in the EU27 in June 2025 increased by 1.9%, year-on-year. According to a preliminary release calendar, Eurostat will release data for July 2025 on 18 September 2025.
Notes
The year-on-year development of the construction output (production) is published after having been adjusted for the influence of the number of working days. Month-on-month rates have also been seasonally adjusted.
In compliance with the CZSO Data revision policy, data for January through June 2025 have been revised. In relation to the transfer to a new data source (the RÚIAN register), there were delays by planning and building control authorities in their monthly reporting. The total numbers of completed dwellings remained almost unchanged, however, their dates of completion have been refined.
