Turnover of construction enterprises grew by 3.1 per cent year-on-year in February to April

The turnover of construction enterprises increased by 3.1 per cent in February to April 2014 from the year before. The turnover of construction of buildings grew by 4.1 per cent. The turnover of specialised construction activities increased by 2.7 per cent and that of civil engineering by 0.8 per cent.

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

The sales volume of construction enterprises was 2.8 per cent up year-on-year in February to April. The sales volume grew by 3.9 per cent in building construction, by 2.5 per cent in specialised construction activities, and by 0.1 per cent in civil engineering.

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

Industries of enterprises have been revised in the data released in July

As part of the renewal of the business statistics, uniform industries defined by the Business Register have been taken more extensively into use in the turnover and wage and salary indices starting from this statistical release. In the time series, the industry changes have been taken into consideration from the beginning of 2013. The industry corrections are visible as revised data in some of the published industries. The effects of the changes are taken into consideration in statistics production so that no breaks occur in the time series of the published index series. The interpretation of the statistics also remains unchanged in the renewal.

Revisions to annual changes in industries are presented under Revisions in these statistics.
