Production in construction declined 1.7 percent on a monthly basis in May, reversing an upwardly revised 4.3 percent growth in April.

Moreover, this was the quickest downturn since December 2022, when output had fallen 2.2 percent.

Construction of buildings contracted 1.3 percent, and specialized construction activities dropped by 1.7 percent. Data showed that civil engineering activity decreased 0.7 percent.

Year-on-year, the growth in construction output moderated to 2.9 percent from 4.7 percent in April.
