The construction output decreased by 0.1%, month-on-month, in November. Production in building construction increased by 8.1% and civil engineering construction increased by 3.2%. “The year-on-year growth of construction output continues already for the thirteenth successive month and takes place in both the civil engineering and building construction,” Petra Cuřínová, Head of the Construction Statistics Unit of the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO), says.
The approximate value of constructions, for which a building permit was granted in November, reached CZK 43.5 bn and increased by 1.0%, y-o-y.
“Despite a high comparison basis, a marked year-on-year increase in the number of started dwellings continued in November, namely in family houses as well as in multi-dwelling buildings,” Radek Matějka, Director of the Agricultural and Forestry, Industrial, Construction, and Energy Statistics Department of the CZSO, explains. Construction of 4 353 dwellings started and the number increased by 20.8%, year-on-year. 2 371 dwellings were completed, which was a year-on-year increase by 4.4%.
According to data of Eurostat, construction output in the EU27 in October 2025 increased by 1.3%, year-on-year. According to a preliminary release calendar, Eurostat will release data for November 2025 on 20 January 2026.
Notes
The year-on-year development of 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.
Starting with the data for January 2026, contents of the news release will change. Within improvement of the information value of indicators, month-on-month changes in production (output) will be commented based on the trend cycle and the chart of year-on-year changes in construction output will be published without seasonally adjusted data. Changes only apply to the text of the news release and charts thereto; time series including seasonally adjusted data remain unchanged.
Based on changes in the legislation related to the Programme of statistical surveys, data on an approximate value of permitted constructions (for which a building permit is granted) will not be available; they will be replaced by the number of building permits granted. The quarterly supplementary information (to the news release) will be extended by selected indicators of completed housing construction.
