Construction material prices are rising significantly more slowly than inflation, with prices in some categories even falling. Despite this, the situation for construction companies remains challenging. The number of corporate insolvencies in the sector rose by 31.3 pct year on year, while the number of restructuring proceedings almost doubled. Weaker demand, high labour costs and pressure on liquidity are among the main challenges facing the industry.

Investment & finance
The first half of 2026 brought a clear recovery in the Central and Eastern European commercial real estate market.
