The Ai Group Industry Index for Australia’s construction sector rose by 1.5 points to 1.0 in August, signaling a return to growth. This marked the sector’s first expansionary reading since October 2023, highlighting ongoing recovery momentum. Construction activity was supported by new projects and renovations, which helped offset weaker enquiries and persistent cost and labor challenges. Business services, however, recorded a weaker month, while manufacturing remained in deep contraction. Employment concerns and rising input costs continued to weigh on the sector, though activity showed resilience. The latest figures suggest that construction is gradually regaining strength, even as broader industry conditions remain mixed. source: Australian Industry Group
