Still wide decrease in building activity

Preliminary quarterly figures show a decrease in almost all sectors. In the fourth quarter of 2009, building was started on 756 000 m2 of utility floor space for dwellings and 1 282 000 m2 for non-dwellings. This is a decrease of 11 and 16 per cent compared with the same period in 2008.

The strongest decline was registered within non-dwellings which fell by 20 per cent in 4t h quarter of 2009, compared with 4t h quarter 2008.

The decline within non-dwellings is mainly due to decrease within the industrial sector and business sector. This sector fell by 25 per cent, or 212 000 square meters of utility floor space which stands for about 80 per cent of the fall for non-dwellings.

Increase in transport sector

In the 4t h quarter of 2009 building was started for 51 000 square meters of utility floor space in the transport sector. This is an increase of 21 per cent compared with the same period in 2008.

Multi-dwelling buildings halved

Buildings for dwellings and holiday houses fell by 10 and 8 per cent respectively. The greatest decline in utility floor space was within multi-dwellings. Utility floor space for dwellings in multi-dwelling buildings fell by 50 per cent, from 233 000 to 117 000 square meters.
