The order reserves of building projects decreased by 3 per cent from the 3rd to the 4th quarter, measured in current value. During the same period, the stock of construction orders remained at the same level. A drop in the value of housing projects contributed to the decline in the building sector. The stock of orders in the total construction industry was still 7 per cent higher than in the 4th quarter of 2012.
The inflow of new orders in the construction industry remained unchanged compared to the corresponding quarter in 2012. The inflow of new building projects decreased by 10 per cent, while the value of civil engineering orders increased by 28 per cent compared to the 4th quarter of 2012.
