Zone euro Sortie de constructions

Eurozone construction output declined 0.8% year-on-year in December 2025, reversing an upward revised 1.9% growth in the previous month.

Among major economies, output declined further in France (-4.5% vs -1.3%) and Spain (-2.8% vs -0.3%), while Germany reversed to a decline (-0.3% vs 1.0%) and the Netherlands grew more slowly (0.6% vs 2.4%).
