Construction activity in Slovakia continued to expand on an annual basis in October, though the pace of growth eased compared with earlier months, according to data published today by the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic.
Preliminary figures show that total construction output in October exceeded EUR 800 million, marking the sixth consecutive month of year-on-year increases. The volume of work was up 3.7 % compared with October 2024, after adjusting for price changes.
Despite the ongoing annual rise, the rate of growth was significantly lower than in previous months, making October one of the slowest months for expansion this year. On a seasonally adjusted basis, construction output was 3.6 % lower than in September 2025.
Within the sector, building construction continued to drive overall growth, with work in this segment up on the previous year. In contrast, civil engineering activities — including road and highway projects — declined compared with October 2024.
Domestic construction work accounted for the bulk of activity, representing 88 % of total output. Both new building work and repairs/maintenance operations contributed to the year-on-year increase.
Slovak construction firms also reported higher output abroad, where their work volume was up significantly compared with a year earlier.
For the first ten months of 2025 overall, construction output in Slovakia is estimated at EUR 6.6 billion, up 7.1 % year-on-year.
The Statistical Office publishes these monthly figures around 40 days after the end of the month, with revisions applied quarterly to ensure accuracy.
