Turnover of construction enterprises grew by nearly 3 per cent in November to January

In November to January, the turnover of construction enterprises increased by 2.9 per cent and the sales volume by 2.3 per cent year-on-year. In the corresponding period one year earlier turnover decreased by 2.2 per cent.

Three months' year-on-year change in turnover of construction (TOL 2008)

Turnover grew in all construction industries. The growth was biggest in civil engineering, 5.1 per cent. The turnover of building construction went up by 2.9 per cent and that of specialised construction activities by 2.2 per cent.

The sales volume of construction enterprises grew by 6.4 per cent in civil engineering. In building construction, the sales volume grew by 2.0 per cent and in specialised construction by 1.4 per cent.

The volume index of enterprises’ sales is calculated by removing the effect of price changes from the turnover index series.

New seasonal adjustment software adopted

Starting from the January 2015 data, a new seasonal adjustment software J-Demetra+ will be adopted in the indices of turnover. The software change does not affect the used seasonal adjustment method. The change does not influence the interpretation or use of the time series either. More about the implementation of the software Changes in these statistics .
