o 0,5 procenta. Tento mírný růst je však stále nedostatečný na to, aby se stavebnictví stalo hnací silou ekonomiky.
„Stavebnictví se snaží zotavit z dlouhodobého poklesu, který trvá již několik let. I když se situace mírně zlepšuje, stále je zde nedostatek investic a poptávky,“ říká ekonomka Jana Mládková.
Podle statistiků se výroba stavebních hmot zvýšila o 1,2 procenta, zatímco výroba stavebních konstrukcí klesla o 0,7 procenta.
„Stavebnictví je stále závislé na veřejných zakázkách, které však nejsou dostatečné. Je třeba podpořit soukromé investice a vytvořit příznivější podmínky pro rozvoj stavebnictví,“ dodává Mládková.
Celkově se průmyslová produkce v České republice propadla o 5 procent meziročně. Tento pokles je způsoben především nedostatkem poptávky, jak ze zahraničí, tak i domácí. Automobilový průmysl, který byl dlouhodobě jedním z tahounů české ekonomiky, také zaznamenal pokles výroby.
„Český průmysl je velmi závislý na zahraniční poptávce, zejména z Německa. Pokud se tamní ekonomika zpomaluje, odráží se to i na českém průmyslu,“ vysvětluje analytik Tomáš Volf.
Ekonomové se domnívají, že pokles průmyslové produkce bude mít negativní dopad na celou ekonomiku České republiky. Snížená produkce znamená nižší zaměstnanost a nižší příjmy pro firmy.
„Je třeba podniknout opatření pro podporu průmyslu a zvýšení poptávky. To může zahrnovat například investice do infrastruktury, podporu inovací a vytváření příznivého podnikatelského prostředí,“ navrhuje ekonom Patrik Rožumberský.
Podle statistiků je však stavebnictví jedním z odvětví, které by mohlo přispět k oživení ekonomiky. Stavební projekty mohou vytvářet nová pracovní místa a stimulovat další investice.
„Stavebnictví je klíčovým odvětvím pro ekonomiku. Je třeba podporovat investice do infrastruktury a vytvářet příležitosti pro rozvoj stavebnictví,“ uzavírá Mládková.Industrial production in the Czech Republic has experienced a 5% year-on-year decline, with the production of electricity and gas, machinery and equipment, and other non-metallic mineral products being the main contributors to this decrease. This information comes from Radek Matějka, the director of the Department of Statistics at the Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ) for agriculture, forestry, industry, construction, and energy.
The energy sector’s results were affected by planned shutdowns in power plants and unusually warm weather. The reduced demand from the construction industry continued to impact the production of construction materials and plastic products for construction.
“The weak foreign and domestic demand is the main issue. If Germany is struggling and consumers are concerned about their financial situation, it affects the Czech industry. However, the decline in the industry affects all sectors and branches, which is a problem,” says analyst Tomáš Volf from Citfin.
The production only increased year-on-year in the pharmaceutical industry, beverage and clothing industry, and slightly in other manufacturing industries. On the other hand, the largest decline in order value was observed in computer, electronic, and optical equipment manufacturing, basic metals production, metallurgy and foundry, as well as machinery and equipment manufacturing.
“The numbers for the entire third quarter confirmed that the industry is no longer the backbone of the domestic economy. While industrial production was still the main driver of added value in the economy in the second quarter, it was the opposite in the following quarter,” says economist Patrik Rožumberský from UniCredit Bank.
The value of new orders in September in the monitored sectors decreased by 5.2% year-on-year. Foreign orders decreased by 1.5%, while domestic orders decreased by 12.2%.
The automotive industry experienced a 1.3% year-on-year decline in production after seventeen months of growth. “It seems that the strong demand from the past, due to disrupted supply chains, has been largely satisfied, and automakers are not registering new orders. Weak demand combined with strong competition from Chinese and US automakers poses a significant problem for the future,” says analyst Filip Pastucha from Deloitte.
The average number of employees in the industry decreased by 2.2% compared to September last year. Their average gross nominal wages increased by 7.2%.
In the first three quarters of this year, industrial production in the Czech Republic decreased by 0.3% year-on-year. While the industry experienced slight growth in the first two quarters, its performance began to slow down in the third quarter.
Industrial production increased by 1.2% in the first quarter and 1.1% in the second quarter. In the third quarter, production decreased by 3.3% year-on-year, according to the ČSÚ. “The vast majority of industrial sectors experienced a decline in production, with a lack of demand strengthening in several sectors,” statisticians noted.
In contrast, construction production in the Czech
What measures can be taken to create a favorable business environment that would encourage production growth and lead to increased employment and income levels
Production.
The decline in industrial production is having a negative impact on the overall economy of the Czech Republic. Lower production means lower employment and lower incomes for companies.
To address this issue, economists suggest taking measures to support the industry and increase demand. This could include investing in infrastructure, promoting innovation, and creating a favorable business environment.
Among the sectors that could contribute to the recovery of the economy is the construction industry. Construction projects can create new jobs and stimulate further investments.
“Construction is a key sector for the economy. It is necessary to support investments in infrastructure and create opportunities for the development of construction,” concludes Mládková.
