In August, the synthetic indicator of construction activity fell 3% year-on-year. The accumulated of the eight months of 2023 of the original series index presents a decrease of 2.7% compared to the same period in 2022.
The synthetic indicator of construction activity (ISAC) fell for the fifth consecutive monthin August it contracted 3% compared to the same month in 2022. For its part, in the accumulated of the eight months of 2023 the original series index presents a decrease of 2.7% compared to the same period in 2022. In August, to In turn, in the monthly variation it fell 1.2%, reported the INDEC.
As for inputs, there were increases of up to 11.3% in granitic and calcareous mosaics and 8.8% in construction paints.
Meanwhile, there are declines in 18.7% on asphalt; 15.1% on ceramic floors and coverings; 14.5% on ceramic sanitary ware; 11.1% in plasterboard; 10.9% in round iron and steel for construction; 8.4% in the rest of the inputs (includes taps, seamless steel tubes and glass for construction); 6.2% in gypsum; 4.2% in manufactured concrete; 3.7% in limes; 1.4% in Portland cement and 0.3% in hollow bricks.
For its part, if we analyze the eight months of the year increases are observed 16% in granite mosaics and calcareous; 9.1% in the rest of the inputs (includes faucets, seamless steel tubes and construction glass) and 7% in manufactured concrete.
Likewise, in construction paints a positive variation close to zero is observed. Meanwhile, there are declines in 16.7% on ceramic sanitary ware; 15.8% on ceramic floors and coverings; 11.7% in hollow bricks; 8.6% in gypsum; 7.8% in limes; 5.2% in round iron and construction steels; 2.7% in plasterboard; 2.4% in asphalt and 0.5% in Portland cement.
