Stay updated with the latest developments in the forex market. Here's the most recent news from RobotFX.

Slovakia’s construction output fell by 4.8% year-on-year in August 2026, reversing a 2.3% increase in July. This was the second annual decline of the year (after January) and the sharpest drop since September 2024.

The performance in the second month of the summer holiday period reflected a contraction in domestic construction output, which decreased by 3.0% after growing 4.7% in July. Within this segment, there were declines in all key areas: new construction activity, the dominant component, slipped by 0.7% after a 4.9% rise in the previous month; repair and maintenance of buildings fell by 6.4% following a 5.0% increase; and civil engineering works registered a 10.3% decline after growing 1.1% in July. Growth in building construction also slowed markedly, easing to 0.6% from 6.5% in the prior month.
