2026-08-11 07:55 By Erika Ordonez 1 min. read

Slovakia’s construction output rose by 1.0% year-on-year in June 2026, easing from a 6.8% increase in the previous month.

This marked the weakest growth since a contraction in January, as domestic construction activity moderated (1.1% vs 7.8% in May), reflecting more subdued growth in new construction, reconstruction and modernization (2.8% vs 7.5%), as well as in buildings (2.7% vs 11.7%).

At the same time, output declined in repair and maintenance work (-6.6% vs 11.0%), while it fell further in civil engineering output (-1.9% vs -1.1%).

Meanwhile, construction output abroad was broadly unchanged at -0.1%, matching the previous month.

June also recorded the weakest year-on-year growth among June readings in the past 14 years.

On a seasonally adjusted monthly basis, construction output fell 4.6% in June.

In the first half of 2026, construction production increased 9.2% compared with the same period a year earlier.
