Released today (9) by the IBGE, the National Index of Civil Construction (SINAPI) changed 0.40% in July. The rate is 0.16 percentage points (p.p.) lower than the index registered in June (0.56%). In the year, Sinapi rose 1.97%. On the other hand, the cumulative index over the last 12 months was 2.66%, a result above the rate of 2.49% registered in the immediately previous 12 months. The index had been 0.23% in July 2023.

"This rate corresponds to the highest one reported since October 2022 in this segment," highlights the researcher.

Having registered 0.53%, workforce dropped in relation to June (1.40%), 0.87 p.p.., impacted by the smaller number of collective work agreements than in the previous month. The index remained stable compared with July 2023 (0.53%).
