About this data

Seasonally adjusted monthly construction permits indices (2021=100) for the Euro area and the EU, covering both residential and non-residential buildings. The dataset includes useful floor area for residential buildings, the number of residential dwellings, and useful floor area for non-residential buildings. This serves as a leading indicator for the construction sector—permits precede housing starts by several months and construction output by approximately a year, making them among the quickest series to react to interest rate changes. Note that the dwellings metric applies exclusively to residential buildings (Eurostat does not count dwellings for non-residential structures). Source: Eurostat.
