FX.co ★ Euro Zone Construction Output Slips into Negative Territory in January

Euro Zone construction activity edged lower at the start of 2026, with output declining by 0.10% month-on-month in January, according to data updated on 19 March 2026. The move marks a reversal from December 2025, when construction output had grown by 0.88% on a month-over-month basis.

The January reading, which compares construction output with the previous month, suggests a modest cooling in the sector after a relatively solid performance at the end of 2025. The December figure reflected growth versus November 2025, while the latest data indicate that momentum in Euro Zone construction has softened as the new year begins.
