Prices of Construction Materials Rose by 1.4% in July

Prices for construction materials rose by 1.4% in July.

The rise included fittings (+ 2.8%), asbestos slate (+ 3.1%), roofing metal (+ 2.5%), metal ceramics (+ 2.8%), glass 4 mm (+ 6.2%) , glass 6 mm (+ 9.5%), and tonal glass (from +4.5% to +12.5%).

For other building materials the prices remained unchanged.

In June, prices rose by 2.3%, in May - by 0.78%, in April - by 4.3%, and in March - by 2%. In February, prices decreased by 8.5%. In January, they were stable. In December, prices rose by 19.2%. It was the most noticeable jump in prices for 2015. Before that, building materials fell significantly in November - by 8.6%. In October, the average price in Baku decreased by 0.5%. The indexes for the previous months were as follows: September (- 0.027%), August (-1.75%), July (+ 0.32%), June (-0.27%), May (+ 0.45%), and April (- 0.1%).

Experts point out the practical stagnation of prices of most materials in the individual construction season meant the remaining crisis in the economy. As Turan previously noted, in the fall we should expect lower prices for construction materials in connection with the completion of the season, and mainly due to the fall in the purchasing power of the population.
