The CE Barometer survey for June was undertaken during the first three weeks of July.

Construction professionals across Europe participated in this month鈥檚 CE Barometer survey.

It has been a somewhat tumultuous year and there are signs that it is going to calm down before the end of the year. In June鈥檚 survey, over half of respondents reported that business conditions are the same as last month. 

Looking ahead to the next year, there has been a decrease in optimism compared to last month鈥檚 survey. Only 29% of respondents predict that their business will improve, while the previous survey showed 48% hopeful for better fortune in a year鈥檚 time. Those expecting business to be the same or worse are on par with 35.5% which suggests that Q3 isn鈥檛 starting as many of us had hoped.

Compared to the previous year, 45.2% reported that business levels are worse. This is a small increase on last months responses.
