economic activity has increased in the last 12 months, it should be noted that, unlike the last terms, the annual construction activity achieved a better outcome than the country's global economy," it expressed.
According to Capeco, the sector's recovery in 2018 was significant, but it was below the performances registered in 2013 (8.96%), 2012 (15.82%), and 2010 (17.84%).
On the other hand, the
construction activity rose 5.62% between January and November 2018. This represents the best result in the last five years and a clear boost compared to 2017 (1.74%).

November
Furthermore, in November 2018, said sphere posted a 13.54% increase compared to the same month the previous year. It was the segment's best result since April (10.18%).
