Euro-area construction output fell for a second month in July, led by declines from Spain to the Netherlands, suggesting the industry’s slump extended into the third quarter.
Construction in the 17-nation euro area slipped 0.3 percent from June, when it dropped a revised 0.6 percent, the European Union’s statistics office in Luxembourg said today. From a year earlier, construction output declined 4.7 percent.
