EU construction costs up 48% since 2015, outpacing inflation

Original: Consumer And Construction Producer Price Indices EU27, 2015-2025 Construction Costs vs. Consumer Inflation in the EU: Th

New figures on EU producer price indices show that between 2015 and 2025, construction producer prices for new residential buildings rose 48.2% across the EU27. The sharpest increase came in the 2021-2025 shock, when building costs surged well ahead of consumer inflation, before a slowdown in recent months. The data is drawing attention to housing affordability pressures across Europe.

Why now: Housing affordability is a pressing issue in Europe and the gap between construction costs and consumer inflation highlights why new homes remain expensive.
