New Zealand Concrete Output Hits Fresh Low in Cooling Economy
New Zealand's concrete production slipped to the lowest level in more than 10 years as cooling economic growth and global uncertainty curb home construction and investment in new commercial buildings.
Output fell to 3.7 million cubic meters in the 12 months through June, Statistics New Zealand said Tuesday in Wellington. That's down 5.9% from a year earlier and the weakest annual reading since late 2014.
