Türkiye’s construction production fell 4.7% year-on-year in July, the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) said Tuesday, with activity in building construction and specialized construction declining despite continued growth in civil engineering.
According to TÜİK data, the construction production index, based on 2021=100, showed mixed performance across subsectors compared with July 2025.
The construction of buildings index fell 8.0%, while the specialized construction activities index declined 4.9%. In contrast, the civil engineering index increased 14.0% over the same period.
Construction output rises 1.1% monthly
On a monthly basis, construction production increased 1.1% in July compared with June, indicating a modest recovery in overall activity despite the annual decline.
The construction of buildings index rose 0.9% month-on-month, while the civil engineering index increased 2.0%. The specialized construction activities index also posted a monthly increase of 1.0%.
The figures point to divergent trends within Türkiye’s construction sector, with civil engineering activity providing support while building construction remained under pressure.
The construction industry is a major contributor to Türkiye’s economy, supporting employment and demand across sectors including building materials, manufacturing, transportation and financial services.
The latest data will be closely watched for signs of whether the monthly recovery can be sustained in the coming months amid changing financing conditions and demand in the property and infrastructure markets. (ILKHA)

Türkiye’s overall export unit value index rose 8.2% year-on-year in July, while the import unit value index increased by 12.8%, the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) said.
While micro enterprises made up nearly three-quarters of all exporters, large-scale companies generated almost half of the country's total exports and nearly 60% of its imports in 2025, official data showed.
Türkiye’s Central Bank has kept its policy rate unchanged at 37%, maintaining its tight monetary policy stance as it seeks to bring inflation down toward its medium-term target.
