The housing segment, though, is booming, rising by 32% year-on-year in July and by 28% year-on-year after the first seven months of 2021.

After the first months of 2021, constructions posted a 4,4% advance, though, against the year-earlier period, with housing as the main growth driver.

Banca Transilvania analysts believe the constructions field is likely to post a 7.1% increase in 2021 and 10.6% in 2022 by volume in the light of new data.
