Eurozone Construction Output

The Euro area construction output data for the month of June was released today. Production in construction was down in the currency bloc. Seasonally adjusted production in construction sector dropped 0.5 percent in euro area, showed Eurostat. On a year-on-year basis, production in construction rose 3.4 percent. Looking at the data, it seems to be disappointing, with production dropping for the second straight month, after falling 0.2 percent sequentially in May. The decline was led by a second straight fall of 1 percent or more in Germany, with French output down too and, by sub-sector, building and civil engineering work both retreating. But this is not overly concerning and the sector is believed to be in a recovery phase, noted Daiwa Capital Markets Research. The print continues to be strong on a year-on-year basis though.
