In 2008 the Construction Rates in the City of Riga have Reduced Less than Forecast

In 2008, 3874 projects to start: new construction, reconstruction, renovation and engineering works were approved and accepted by the Riga City Construction Board. This is 7% less than in 2007.

The Riga City Construction Board has issued 2011 confirmation cards to perform simplified renovation or reconstruction works and 1844 construction permits.

“Analysing changes in the construction rates in the city of Riga in 2008 and comparing them with the construction activity in 2007, the amount of accepted construction projects and issued construction permits was reducing gradually, in comparatively small volumes, monthly.   In general, reduction of the construction rates has been smaller than earlier forecast, still, considering the economic situation throughout the country, a significant drop in the scale of construction is expected in 2009. This is proven by the amount of construction applications received at the end of 2008 and beginning of 2009,” clarifies the Head of the Riga City Construction Board Andis Cinis.
