Weak Finish to Q3 for Construction

EUROZONE DATA
MNI (London)

EUROZONE SEP CONSTRUCTION +0.1% M/M; +1.0% Y/Y; AUG -1.0%r M/M, +2.0% Y/Y

  • Eurozone construction all-but stalled in September, at +0.1% m/m, following the August contraction.
  • Based on the index level, construction output is now closer to pre-Covid levels.
  • Weak construction demand has driven a decline across the sector, which signalled contraction since May in the S&P Global PMIs.
  • Despite supply chains easing, the decline in new orders has dampened production and outlooks for the coming month are bleak.
  • Final HICP eurozone data for October was confirmed at a record high, after a minor 0.1pp downward revision on the headline print to +10.6% y/y. This was largely due to Italian revisions.
