The downward trend in the East German construction industry has slowed. Taking into account the rise in construction prices, "both demand for construction services and construction activity fell in real terms in 2024, but the downward trend in the construction industry has slowed significantly," said Robert Momberg, Managing Director of the Construction Industry Association East.
In total, orders in the main construction sector in Berlin, Brandenburg, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt amounted to 19.3 billion euros last year. This figure was 1.3 percent higher than the non-price-adjusted comparative figure for the previous year. In public construction, there was a nominal increase in orders of 12.2 percent.
