Construction - October 2025

The construction output decreased by 0.4%, month-on-month, in October. “The construction output slowed down its year-on-year growth rate to 7.1% in October; this time, the growth was driven by the construction of buildings,” Radek Matějka, Director of the Agricultural and Forestry, Industrial, Construction, and Energy Statistics Department of the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO), says. Production in building construction increased by 9.6% and civil engineering construction increased by 3.3%.

The approximate value of constructions, for which a building permit was granted in October, reached CZK 46.6 bn and increased by 7.3%, y-o-y.

“In October, construction of 3 457 dwellings started and the number increased by 34%, year-on-year, thanks to multi-dwelling buildings, especially in the Středočeský Region, in Prague, and in the Jihomoravský Region,” Petra Cuřínová, Head of the Construction Statistics Unit of the CZSO, explains. 2 914 dwellings were completed, which was a year-on-year increase by 58%. The growth is rather owing to a low comparison basis of last October, when the number of completed dwellings was one of the lowest, historically.

According to data of Eurostat, construction output in the EU27 in September 2025 increased by 0.5%, year-on-year. According to a preliminary release calendar, Eurostat will release data for October 2025 on 18 December 2025.
