Despite a significant decline in sales in residential construction in August, the building association expects an adjustment to the previous year's result by the end of the year.
This affects all construction sectors, said the general manager of the construction association MV, Jörg Schnell, on Tuesday.
He referred to the sales of all divisions between January and the end of August: The deficit compared to the previous year has decreased by 3.2 percent.
Schwerin - While employment reportedly remained stable, the situation with incoming orders is still difficult.
The number for January to August is 14.3 percent below the previous year's figure.
"Housing construction and commercial construction in particular have a lot of catching up to do here."
