THE\u00a0Civil Construction<\/a>\u00a0is one of the driving forces of the country's economy.

With the economic recovery after the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the sector has been recovering since May 2020, compared to the height of the crisis, and as of August of that same year it has already begun to show positive results.<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0Construction Industry Survey<\/a>, carried out by\u00a0Brazilian Chamber of the Construction Industry (CBIC),<\/a>\u00a0the Construction Business Confidence Index reached 58.9 points in November 2020, a figure higher than the indicator's historical average (53.6 points).<\/p>\n

The report also states that business owners in the sector have positive expectations for the first half of 2021, predicting an increase in activity levels and a greater volume of new ventures and services being launched.

\u201cFor 2021, the outlook indicates an expansion of 3.5% for the Brazilian economy, while Construction could register an increase of 4% in its GDP. If confirmed, this will be the largest growth in the sector since 2013 (4.5%),\u201d according to\u00a0Survey<\/a>. One risk observed in achieving this performance is the possibility of shortages and increased material costs.<\/p>\n
