According to Statistics Finland, the working day adjusted turnover of construction enterprises decreased by 1.6 per cent in May 2024 compared to the previous year. The volume of sales, from which the impact of price changes has been eliminated, went down by 0.6 per cent. The decline in construction was most affected by the weak development of turnover and sales volume in building construction. The growth in civil engineering was exceptional, which softened the decline in construction.
