Turnover of construction enterprises grew by 5.1 per cent in January to March

In the first quarter of 2015, the turnover of construction enterprises increased by 5.1 per cent and the sales volume by 4.8 per cent year-on-year. In the corresponding period one year earlier, turnover grew by 1.4 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, 10.6 per cent. The turnover of building construction went up by 4.8 per cent and that of specialised construction activities by 3.9 per cent.

The sales volume of construction enterprises grew by 13.5 per cent in civil engineering. In building construction, the sales volume grew by 4.5 per cent and in specialised construction by 3.6 per cent.

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

Data revised

An error occurred in the automatic editing of data that affected the results of the statistical publication released on 13 May. Enterprise closures had been interpreted incorrectly so that all enterprise closures were not included in the calculation of the reference period 12/2014 to 2/2015. This is visible as a downward revision in the index series released now. More detailed information about revisions: revisions in these statistics
