The share of the construction sector in national revenue fell to 5,6 percent. Employment within the sector reached 2 million as of September 2015.

The real estate business development and rental sector grew by more than the previous year, and at an amount parallel to the general economy.

Building construction costs rose by 5,9 percent and the cost of construction materials rose by 5,2 percent in the year.

The tendency to exit from the assets of the country which developed with the increased appetite for the assets of developed countries was effective in this increase.
