Hungary’s construction output fell by 1.2% year-on-year in June 2026, easing sharply from a 10.7% decline in the previous month. The decline was driven by a 5.5% contraction in building construction from 4.6% increase in May. Meanwhile output in other construction increased 5.6% from slumping 14.9% in the previous month, supported by a 28.3% rise in civil engineering, mainly due to a 49.6% expansion in road and railway construction. Meanwhile, production in specialised construction, the industry’s largest segment, rose 0.6% from a year earlier. On a seasonally and working-day adjusted monthly basis, construction activity fell by 3.9% in June, following the previous month’s increase. In the first half of 2026, total construction output declined by 0.7% compared with the same period a year earlier.
