NEWS : Building sector confidence gains strength in Q3

The FNB/BER Building Confidence Index is a measure of sentiment within the construction industry. In the second quarter of 2024, the index grew from 35 to 40 points, indicating a rise in optimism. However, two of the six sectors experienced a decline.
