Construction output declined 2.7% y-to-y in April (vs. +6.5% in March), the better outcome than we had expected (-7.0%). The market consensus is not available. Adjusting the figure for fewer working days the output fell 0.2% y-to-y. Despite today released drop the mild recovery in construction sector is obvious. We have increased our forecast for construction output growth from 1% to 2% this year.
